Login as a regular user and su to root instead, it will keep the original user's shell (assuming you don't use the -l option) The reason for this: Assume you change root's shell to /usr/local/bin/tcsh, then later on, something breaks in your rc, /usr won't be mounted and root won't have a shell. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::. . . . . ..:::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Jason Andresen :. . . . . . . . . : Running FreeBSD and :: :: jandrese@vt.edu :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:: loving every minute! :: :.........................: Quote of the day :..........................: Every time I look at you I am more convinced of Darwin's theory. :::::::::::.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.........................:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:::::::::::
