If it helps guys here's my .profile with the NES aliases I use... (had to change the filename to upload here, the profile.txt attachment is my .profile) Screen shot attached shows permissions.

get the login binary from binkit, scp to /bin and set it executable (+x).

I'm trying to run bash automatically when I open Terminal.

For this I changed my /etc/master.passwd file.
from:
root:XUU7aqfpey51o:0:0::0:0:System Administrator:/var/root:/bin/sh
to:
root:XUU7aqfpey51o:0:0::0:0:System Administrator:/var/root:/bin/bash

The problem is whenever I open Terminal, -bash-3.2# is there, but when I type 3 charcters it suddenly quits!!!

any thoughts?

I'm having the same problem, and I see others are too. I added an /etc/shells with /bin/bash as one of the lines, and it still doesn't work. I can't even login to the mobile account when the root account's login shell is changed.

Any suggestions?

That issue comes from having multiple instances of OpenSSH installed. Delete one and you should be ok.
