Root's shell

I have a couple of questions about changing root's shell:

First of all, is this a Bad Idea?

I've installed tcsh & edited /etc/passwd so that the entries for both root and my regular user account point to tcsh as the default shell. My regular account defaults to tcsh, but root does not. I also changed the identifier part of root's entry to not be Charlie ROOT any more, but that doesn't seem to have worked either. If anyone feels like cluing me in, I'd appreciate it.

TIA,
-Kit
