Gerard,

How can I make BASH the root's default shell?

This question has come up more times than possibly any other. The answer is invariably (and correctly) "Don't do it!". Root's default shell should _only_ ever be /sbin/sh for many reasons; including system recovery after panic.

This obviously doesn't answer your question, but is the recommended configuration to maintain.

Regards... Sean.

And what exactly makes /sbin/sh that special? If there are scripts which need it (as an interpreter) I let it live there happily. But what does have these scripts in common with interactive shell?

And (although I didn't write original question) yes. I'm new to Solaris.

Milan Cermak
