Well, my /etc/passwd is correctly set.
the root current shell is bash according to ps -s $$ and bash --version
tells me that it's really bash.

but, you gave me an idea. I've run a ssh -v command and the ssh binary
is replaced by rssh via a symlink.

And in fact, this is entirely my mistake. I've followed a tutorial where
it makes a symlink from rssh to ssh, but for another purpose...

Well, thanks for the help and quick response :)
