bash is not all that critical - /bin/sh and /bin/csh are the critical ones.

My RedHat linux has /bin/sh a link to bash. Not all unixes do it the same. 
Most non linux unix machines have bash in /usr/local/bin or elsewhere.

Of course, root's shell should be one in /bin - /bin/sh on FreeBSD,
Solaris, Digital Unix etc.
