Well. I received a mail-bombing of responses. :-)
33% said yes. 33% say is risky and 33% said no.
The 33% who said yes just said yes and nothing more.
The 33% who said is risky explain that sh is statically linked. So, if I
change sh to /bin/csh (/usr/bin/csh and dynamically linked) and /usr is
another filesystem the csh won't work because it couldn't find the
necesary libraries. So, the single user mode also won't work. Also, the
script that is in /etc/rc* use the sh to be processed. So, if possible
that some script don't work if I use csh or ksh.

Finally, the last 33% said no because the myths and folcklore said no.
Thank you very much.

Subject: root with ksh or csh
Admins, a simple question :
Is possible to change in /etc/passwd the shell of root from sh to ksh or
csh ?
Thanks in advance.
