Bruce,

I think you're right, I might have written the answer myself, without
seeing it.
I think I got the point.
I will gonna play with that, but 2 questions arise now:

1) Am I the only one having this problem? I mean, there are several newbies
   with even so newbie questions, but I never saw this one in the list.
2) I know that changing root's default shell on Solaris, causes a lot of
   troubles, resulting in having to boot from CD and then manually change back
   the passwd file.
   Isn't there such an effect on Linux? 
   What happens with the rc-scripts, for instance? Well, nothing happens with
   the scripts actually, but are there unpleasant side-effects due to change
   of the default shell?

You can only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Best regards, and don't let the bits byte!
Ivo Naninck.
