As has been said before, a POSIX-sh compatible shell for root is a red herring - slap #!/bin/sh in front of your scripts and be done with it. The omnipresence of bash in Linux at least hasn't done a great service to script portability in my experience (you wouldn't think porting KDE isn't a likely opportunity to be confronted with bad scripting, but I had to learn otherwise the hard way. Bash makes it way to easy to write scripts that will only work when /bin/sh is really /bin/bash). -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi_at_freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
