Would this work, or would it break your system? with ksh being the standard shell on AIX, I just didn't test that ... seems a bit risky to me. Just some minutes ago I had an issue replacing the system supplied "tail" with the one from coreutils, which breaks the gcc build process. Regards, Peter. I got here late (and relevant parts of OP missing) but maybe this will help? On Solaris I have two root users defined with different shells. If I really need sbin/sh I log on as root instead of the usual rootk. root:x:0:1:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh # defined by Sun rootk:x:0:0::/:/sbin/ksh -Jon --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
