I use csh for root for all the reasons that you shouldn't change your root shell. I suppose I could change root to /bin/sh, but that doesn't even have command recall. I don't know how many times I've keyed in a nicely composed off-the-cuff conditional only to have it fall flat. I have to remind myself to start zsh first when working as root, or start getting used to using toor instead, or just always use sudo. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://chipsquips.com | http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com
