See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge No! root's shell has to be /sbin/sh, the default setting, or another shell that resides on the root filesystem (ie - /sbin/csh). The /usr filesystem isn't mounted in single-user mode, so changing root's shell to /usr/bin/ksh, or any other shell not on the root filesystem, can potentially cause you serious grief. A nice compromise is to add something like the following at the very end of /.profile: # if /usr/ is mounted, change our shell to ksh... /usr/bin/true 2>/dev/null && exec /usr/bin/ksh User Contributions:Top Document: comp.sys.hp.hpux FAQ Previous Document: 8.21 What happened to /usr/local?
