(But you possibly still end up with sh if you boot into single user mode.) I don't know about 5.x, but would be a little surprised if the default has reverted to sh.

RE: set env editor global
I think you are incorrect about root using the sh shell as default. My new fresh install of 4.9 uses csh as the root default shell. I did nothing to make this happen, that's the way the system was installed from the cdrom install disk. I am to only one on this stand-a-lone system and ps ax command shows me as csh. The /etc/csh.cshrc does set the defaults for new users added to the system, but has no effect on root. Had the edit root .cshrc file to set env defaults for root. But thanks for the pointer to /etc/csh.cshrc -Original Message- From: Charles Swiger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 1:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ORG Subject: Re: set env editor global On Jan 12, 2004, at 10:37 AM, fbsd_user wrote: On an new install with only an root account, I want to set the command line prompt prefix and the default editor for all new users and also the root account.
