I'm running freeBSD 6 release (FreeBSD taurus.cruz 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 2 01:42:42 EST 2006 root@fileserv.cruz:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FILESERV i386) and for whatever reason, i'm stuck in bourne. Sure, I can type "bash" and open a new shell that way, but it will not let me change the default at all :( I've tried bin, csh, and tsch, all with the same result: invalid argument. Here are my shells (from /etc/shells) /bin/sh /bin/csh /bin/tcsh /usr/local/bin/bash I try to run chsh with flags, and I get this: $ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash Password: chsh: entry inconsistent chsh: pw_copy: Invalid argument I try to run without flags,and it gives me /etc/pw.ej2LjB: 7 lines, 150 characters. Password: chsh: entry inconsistent chsh: pw_copy: Invalid argument Any help on this is much appreciated. -John
