	Traditionally root ran /bin/csh and toor ran /bin/sh to keep both
BSD and AT&T trained sysadmins happy, it really doesn't matter what login
shell root uses at work we use zsh, at home I use bash but you could even
use mc or vshnu.

	However the OP was concerned about the prompt (which many people
have correctly said involves setting PS1) rather than the shell.
