I have changed the root shell to Bash on another machine I use as a CVS

I'm setting myself up for problems by doing so.
Does anybody know if it's okay to change the root shell on FreeBSD
7.0-RELEASE-i386?
What I do is add the following lines to /root/.login :
if ($?prompt) then
if ( -x /usr/local/bin/bash ) then
# echo "Switching to bash"
setenv SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash
exec /usr/local/bin/bash -login
endif
endif
I've been doing this for at least 10 years. I haven't had any
problems with it, but Your Mileage Might Vary.
