In my aged and inflexible opinion, whatever shell one is used to is
the best tool, and attempts by all parties to assert the superiority
of their personal favorites are ridiculous.
Since /etc/passwd has included a line for toor for as long as I can
remember, I can use ksh and leave root's shell as whatever it is.
Then again, I still use vi, so what do I know?
