Hi all,
We wish to use bash as the default shell for the superuser root.
But it is located in /usr/local/bin/bash... which is in /usr, and not
in /... I fear we couldn't login in single-user mode...
Very realistic fear. Congratulations on figuring this out BEFORE
you locked yourself out.
Have you tried this?
No. We use "sudo /usr/local/bin/bash" from an ordinary login instead.
Which is your solution?
You could leave root's login shell alone, then add to his .profile
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/bash ] ; then
exec /usr/local/bin/bash
fi
