Sheesh!  That is well past the line, from reasonable into obnoxious, in
my opinion; I would disable such a warning if it were present on any
system I used regularly.

Protecting the admin from hirself is a dubious idea *at best*.  *This*
is just ridiculous.  You might as well warn if /bin contains anything
other than what the OS ships with!  Remember, "UNIX does not stop you
from doing stupid things because that would also stop you from doing
clever things".

That's just *so* compatability-friendly.

MHO, there is no excuse for making it behave differently for root than
for anyone else.  If I wanted some handholding piece of software
thinking it knew better than I how my system should - or shouldn't - be
configured, I'd be running Windows.

As for root's shell and path, well, I personally don't care much.
Here's an excerpt from /root/.cshrc on one of my machines.  I trust
it's self-explanatory. :-)

if ( "$USER" == "mouse" ) then
	if ( $?mcsh || ! $?prompt ) then
		source ~mouse/.cshrc
		exit
	endif
	exec /local/bin/mcsh
endif

					der Mouse
