In the same idea, I never change root's shell (and often on NIS
environnement I keep the "least uper bound" shell of all install and
had a little trick to startup files to find my fav' shell at login and
then exec it ... )

I think also that root should have /rescue/*sh as shell (static
versions) just to be sure ...
