    Hello mailing-list,

    which philosophy is behind the decision to use csh for root an not sh
    like the other users? I mean that the root has to manage the
    configuration-scripts written in the language of sh not of csh. The
    difference of the script-languages between csh and sh are tremendous,
    isn't it?

    With regards
    Stevan Tiefert
