CHSH(1)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 CHSH(1)



NAME
     chsh - change default login shell

SYNOPSIS
     chsh name [ shell ]

DESCRIPTION
     The chsh command is similar to passwd(1) except that it is
     used to change the login shell field of the password file
     rather than the password entry.  If no shell is specified
     then the shell reverts to the default login shell /bin/sh.
     Otherwise, any executable file can be specified as the
     shell.  If the full path to a file is not specified, for
     example, the name does not start with /, chsh will prepend
     /bin.

EXAMPLES
     An example of this command:

     chsh bill /bin/csh


     changes the (sh) shell of the user bill to /bin/csh.

CAVEATS
     If the file exists and is executable,  it is installed as
     your login shell; make sure you really want that file as
     your shell.  An error may make login impossible and
     superuser intervention necessary.

SEE ALSO
     chfn(1), csh(1CSH), passwd(1), and passwd(5).
