hi everyone

does root shell have to be csh? i hate it. i'd far prefer bash or tcsh, but
when i tried using tcsh, cron and other programs that act as root made a
big fuss and stopped working properly :-(
has anyone encountered this oddity, and does anyone have any useful suggestions?
is bash fully comaptible with sh or csh? would *that* be an acceptable
replacement? does anyone have bash compiled for netbsd? :-)

TIA!
