Or at least understand what you are doing.
What is wrong with bash as shell for root?
(Assuming bash is in /bin and statically linked.)
There's nothing wrong with that if you make it statically linked and put
it in /bin. You know what, and why, you are doing it ;)
My only advice to the OP was to be careful which shell to choose for the
root account, especially bash which is dynamically linked and installed
by default in /usr/local/bin/.
I hope I didn't offend too many others with my suggestion...
All the best,
