And almost all of our decisions can be overruled. But we make the decision to include a dynamically linked shell as root's login shell, which goes against years of accumulated wisdom in the Unix world. We try to avoid making decisions on behalf of our user, but shouldn't the decisions that we *do* make be the right ones? This isn't simply a matter of opinion. There is a very valid technical reason that root's shell should be statically linked. Why don't we ship with that configuration by default? noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
