default shell
 
I have been unable to locate the setting for my default shell. I would like this to be set to tcsh when I login but left as bash for other users.

Thanks.

vipw

The default shell for a user is defined in
/etc/passwd

Cheers,
Tink

Thanks,

But what does 'vipw' mean?

That's the vipassword file editor ...
Try it on the commandline ;)


Cheers,
Tink
