  Thoughts on two separate entries in /etc/master.passwd--mostly
similar to each other, just different in username and shell--as a
possible solution?  I have 

  root:...:/bin/sh
  rootz:...:/usr/pkg/bin/zsh

and use rootz for day-to-day stuff, but use root (whose entry is
unmodified) for instances in which the .so's aren't available.

  I suspect maybe that isn't a recommended approach, because it
winds up generating noise in the daily security e-mails; but it
seems fine otherwise, so I'm curious what the cons are, if any.
