Furthermore, since the introduction of the sudo command (which
is installabe by ports / package) prefixing commands with "sudo"
seems to be okay for most tasks.

And as you said, Prad, using FreeBSD's su command (su -m) will
usually do just fine.

Another "wisdom" about this topic: "If you see that you're spending
so much time as 'root' that you feel you need to change the root
shell to BASH, you're obviously doing something wrong." :-)
