--nextPart1279004.X8z51TxG9l Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I'm trying to get my shell changed from the default csh to bash. I followed= =20 the instruction in the handbook, "chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash beni" and got= =20 the reply that the user information was updated : root@PCBSD:/home/beni> chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash beni chsh: user information updated root@PCBSD:/home/beni>=20 Did the same for root. Looked with vipw and my shell was changed to bash.=20 My /etc/shells was also modified : beni@PCBSD:~> cat /etc/shells # $FreeBSD: src/etc/shells,v 1.5 2000/04/27 21:58:46 ache Exp $ # # List of acceptable shells for chpass(1). # Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using # one of these shells. /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/tcsh /usr/local/bin/bash beni@PCBSD:~> But when logging out and back in again, the shell didn't change to bash. It= 's=20 still csh... I just get the "%"-sign and have to type "bash" to get the=20 bash-shell in a console. And the weird thing is with path : %echo $path /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/bin /us= r/X11R6/bin /home/beni/bin % beni@PCBSD:~> echo $path beni@PCBSD:~> Any hints on the why of this ? =2D-=20 Beni. --nextPart1279004.X8z51TxG9l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDnIcV98oeEzEDrEcRAvi3AJ0e5NCW0S+qctamXh0n/Ss8WzE0tQCfZJEy 8orz8m/XHjtAX7rUvdoyrbA= =pj1U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1279004.X8z51TxG9l--
