As said... I hate changing the shell of root (but i love ksh, besides some
minor problems in pdksh compared to "real" ksh), but it's a matter of
everybody's own opinion. NetBSD is quite fine here with the static shells. But
don't try this under Solaris or Linux. You know what i mean, if your libc gets
damaged for some reason.
