Just change the login shell in the /etc/passwd file.
use vipw(8) to edit the /etc/passwd file and replace the last field
with /usr/local/bin/bash   (or whatever its full path is)
 (don't edit /etc/passwd with regular vi or vim or emacs or 
 whatever, use vipw to make sure it locks things correctly and
 updates the database when needed)

I have never tried using a flag on the shell in the /etc/passwrd file
so I don't know what the -i will do to it.   You might have to add
some quoting.

You can also use chsh(1) to make the edit.
