You don't *have* to use bash. You could probably get away with using zsh or a number of other shells. Personally and maybe I'm the only one but I'd like to see all of the ports that require bash be changed to use zsh instead because I've got that on most all of my systems already. :) -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
