tcsh for root -- ok or not?

That and make sure the binary is local, not accessed by NFS.  One nearby
site made the error of make /usr/local/bin/bash the root shell.  Fine,
except that /usr/local is a shared NFS directory.  When the NFS server was
down, he couldn't login as root.

On our system, all shells are in /bin.
