Doh! Blush. What can I say? Thanks, that certainly clears that
problem.
The situation did not arise until I installed a 2.1.x kernel in mid
November. At home I rarely reboot and I leave root logged in for months
on vt1, so root's shell could have been changed long ago. I guess I'll
never know how it happened.
Thanks,
Lindsay
