So for those of us that want to go back to the way things should be, (leaving root shell be /bin/sh) I fire up vipw and change this: root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/usr/local/bin/bash to this: root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/sh Right? Then I keep using sudo all the time. But if I need to do some big work as root, I can su to root and get bash simply by typing: /usr/local/bin/bash Right? Just want to be clear on this. Thanks.
