There really no longer is an argument except, perhaps, when /usr is a separate filesystem. In the old days /sbin/sh was statically linked but now that is no longer the case. Another reason might be "you should not be comfortable running as root so you do as little as possible as root"; fine argument, but not technical. On systems I am the sole maintainer of, root's shell is /usr/bin/tcsh. Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
