Well, I have two superuser accounts on my system: root with default shell "bash", and toor with default shell "sh". This is very common usage on BSD systems -- if bash becomes corrupted or inaccessible, you can login with "toor" and do your thing. IIRC, bash is almost always dynamically linked, while sh is statically linked. It's a good measure to have a fall-back superuser account for emergencies, IMHO. The way to add a superuser is to create another user account with a userid 0. ,----[ For example ] | tea:~# useradd -u 0 -o -g root -d /root -s /bin/sh toor `---- Don't forget to do a "passwd toor" after that. -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com "'What good is my pity?
