CHSH(1)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 CHSH(1)



NAME
     chsh - change default login shell

SYNOPSIS
     chsh name [ shell ]

DESCRIPTION
     Chsh is a command 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 use of this command would be:

          chsh bill /bin/csh

CAVEATS
     If the file exists and is executable,  it will be installed
     as your login shell.  Make sure you really want that file as
     your shell.  An error may make login impossible and super-
     user intervention necessary.

     chfn(1), csh(1csh), passwd(1), passwd(5).
