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.
It is perfectly safe to use bash as the root shell in Solaris 10
onwards. Just ignore anybody who say otherwise and use "usermod -s
/usr/bin/bash root".
Also if you want root's home directory to be /root just (as root)
mkdir -p /root
chmod 700 /root
usermod -d /root root
And if you want more Linux-feel, install Linux on BrandZ ;-)
Regards... Sean.
