Subject: setting up BASH


hi!

I'm trying to set up BASH as my shell, but i can't load it at the login.

1_ I'm using a keymap file I've created (to write portuguese with 
american keyboards), but it only works with sh WITHOUT the -E 
option! BASH can't use it too (the accentuated characters don't get 
displayed). Is this normal?

2_ The vidcontrol command I put in the initialization files only gets 
run when I call bash from the command line...

3_ The $SHELL variable doesn't change to "(...)/bash" after loading 
it, but insists on "(...)/sh". Is this normal? I've read something about 
"loading BASH as SH"... The ps command also doesn't show bash, 
but sh.



PS: My line on the /etc/passwd file:
nwerneck:*:1138:1001:NLW 1138:/home/nike:/usr/local/bin/bash


thanks!
