enable bash shell 1

[holdahl]

I'm trying to enable the bash shell on an AIX machine.

The bash shell was installed default under /usr/local/bin.

How do you set the bash shell with the: (chsh user shell) command?

I installed bash-3.1 but when I'm trying: chsh 'user' /usr/local/bin/bash , just get an:
3004-635 Error setting shell for "testuser" to "/usr/local/bin/bash" : Value is invalid.

how do you point to the bash shell?

the path to your bash needs to in the shells attribute of the usw stanza of file /etc/security/login.cfg
