Software may assume that root's shell is /bin/sh. I note that PowerBroker provides a Bourne-shell-compatible version called pbsh. If you're going to do this, I'd recommend using that instead. My first instinct would be to create another user with uid zero and set the shell for that, keeping the actual root password for single user mode problems. I don't know if PowerBroker will work with this. Apologies for not providing insight on your literal question. --CW -- Chris Whip - Software Engineer, Applied Math, University of Washington (206) 616-9359 - [email protected] - Guggenheim 414C _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
