I just did that today!
Authored by: Anonymous on Feb 14, '02 11:47:11AM

Leave it alone, for several reasons. A couple reasons are:

- tcsh came with OS X, you're probably less likely to run into any severe bugs.
- bash probably is a bit less secure. it's had its share of security issues.
- make sure whatever you use is in /bin or /sbin. If you use /usr/local/bash as root, and /usr/local is on a different partition than /, and have to boot into single-user mode, you're up sh*t creek.
- smart admins never mess with root's defaults, and with sudo, there's no reason to log in as root.
