Yeah, and the sky might fall on our heads, right? Everyone seems agreed that nothing should break, so if and when the unexpected happens, let's just fix it. But in the meantime please stop spreading FUD.

And, please, please, pretty please with copious amounts of corn syrup poured over everything, let's not let this degrade into another "my shell is better than yours" thread.

I'm sorry, but I'm from the old school "Live Free Or Die" UNIX brigade, and if I want to use KSH and VI then that's my preference and choice, right?

Of course, what I choose to do in the privacy of my own laptop computer, and how I configure a $1B/sec enterprise system may vary significantly.

When by job depends on it I will minimise risk and departure from "standard" configurations as much as possible. After all, in that context, who wants to be the first to stumble on a "new" bug?

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

Please, pretty please with sugar on top, don't modify the root's SHELL. Even 
though nothing *should* break, it could.

Instead, modify /.profile:

Shell="/bin/tcsh"
Options="-l"

if [ -x "$Shell" ]
then
   exec "$Shell" "$Options"
fi

And read the man page on `tcsh`. It's much more comfortable to work with than 
`bash`. Much more powerful, too.
