If you are connected to the internet, install the bash port: "cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2" "make install" Then "chpass" and change your shell to /usr/local/bin/bash. Log out and log back in. It's a good idea to have at least two logins active so that if you mistype the shell path you can correct it with the one which is still logged on. Otherwise you'll have to boot into single user mode to fix it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
