Don't bother with bash.

Many people have had (upgrade) problems with various shells residing in
/usr/local/bin: not being able to mount /usr[/local], driving 500 miles
to put a console on the box, etc, etc........

ksh is great, is the default, has a great man page,.......

BTW, here is my /etc/profile:

$ cat /etc/profile
[ -o interactive ] && . /etc/ksh.kshrc


# cat ~/.profile
: ${HOME='/root'}
: ${PKG_PATH='ftp://berlina/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/i386/'}
export HOME PKG_PATH
umask 022


PATH is set in /etc/login.conf
