I do recall this discussion coming up on a few occasions (it's also discussed either in the FreeBSD manual or Greg Lehey's book) and the default for bash wasn't static.. and I don't see that on the bash1 port, so hm.. dunno, maybe I'm just not up to date on this. You did manually copy it to /bin, right? Every time I've installed the bash package or port it goes in /usr/local/bin. Interestingly, a box where the bash binary package was installed during initial install of 4.2-RELEASE does not list bash in /etc/shells. My latest 4.5-PRE box does list it there. Phil -- Philip J.
