Hi all,
This is a pretty general question & should be easy to answer :-). I know
that changing root's shell is considered a no-no, mostly since sh and csh
are always available (non /usr) & startup files may depend on syntax. My
question is...would it be a bad thing (tm) to do something like put the
name of a preferred shell into the last line of root's .login file? I'm
thinking that this shouldn't break anything because everything is already
set up in the system, & if something happened to break, the pwd.db still
has the default shell so you wouldn't be disabling all access to the system.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your input,
Mike
