Well, the technical reasons for not changing root's shell have become moot with Solaris 10, but depending on your organisation, changing it might not be very friendly to other admins. And if you're the only admin, then that problem goes away. Naturally, your root shell and home dir should be on the root filesystem (so none of this antiquated (IMHO) practice of splitting out /usr). Me? I change root's dir to /root (mode 600), but leave root's shell alone, running ksh from root's .profile. -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
