Also, you could have a user "doot" or whatever name with user ID 0 and shell /bin/dash to log in as a sys admin with dash. Alternatively when you "su" interactively you could instead do "sudo dash". Used to do the same (new user with ID 0 I mean) under Solaris and it worked flawlessly. Best regards, NTS
