[techtalk] changing login shells

[elizabeth ~]

thanks to everyone who responded. i edited the line with my username in the 
/etc/passwd file to read /bin/csh instead of /bin/bash, and now i'm happily 
c shelling around my system.

oh, no need to reply to the individual AND the list when responding to 
posts....  i've been getting multiple emails because of this. :)

If you go into your /etc/passwd file, the end of the line with your
username designates what kind of shell your default is.
