[UCLA-LUG] Changing your login shell

[Michael Daines]

This is actually a UNIX questions, since linux (at least my version 
at home) has the chsh command.

How do I change my login shell (this is for an account I have).  My 
current default is ksh, but if I wanted to switch it to tcsh, how 
would I go about that.  The linux reference material I have say to 
use chsh, but that doesn't exist in the UNIX I am using.  If I just 
copy the chsh program over to my bin file and run it, will that do 
the trick, or do I need to modify or add a . file in my home 
directory, or what?  I want to ask before I do anything, because a 
mistake here could make it so that I cannot even log in.

Thanks for any help.
