where to change my $SHELL ?

[haneo]

where is the shell programme set for usrs?

You can set a users shell in a couple of different ways. The best way to set it is in the passwd file.
IE:
user:*:*:* User desc:/:/bin/sh

You can also set it in a .profile so when they log on it automatically launches their shell.

 

[IPconfig]

you can also interchange from shell by simply typing in the shell you want e.g

box# csh

to give you a csh shell


IP

I have now changed /etc/passwd with vi

user:*:*:* User desc:/:/PATH-HERE/bash

but when connecting i am using sh not bash ???!!!

I am lost

 

[bash3r]

Do yourself a favor and install webmin, its in the ports collection.

/usr/ports/sysutils/webmin
make
make install

Use the web interface to manage your user accounts. While webmin can be setup to use SSL, take security precautions as you see fit, it uses port 10000 by default.
