[ale] Question about how to do something from bash to csh.

[Lightner, Jeff]

I don't think there's a requirement to use csh on FreeBSD.

You can always change the default shell for root - just be sure to pick one that's statically linked that is in root's filesystem so it works in single user without other mounts.

Alternatively you can just leave csh as the default and simply executed "exec sh" (or bash or ksh) after you login to change shells.

FreeBSD, that's why the CSH for root. For now I just used sh, but I am
now going to teach myself a bit C Shell so I know the differents.
