Bash shell ...

Hi All,
I am using HP-UX. Here ksh is configured as a default shell. How can i change this to bash.

And please let me know of any freely available X-Terminals through which i can connect to Unix system from Windows.

Regards,
Vijay Hegde

there is a file /etc/passwd.
locate the row having ur user id in this file.
in that row, the 7th entry curresponds to your default shell.
change it to to the desired shell.
(provided you have the access to write. otherwise get the help of ur admin to get it done)

regard

I'm never happy editing /etc/password directly, if your unix has chuser then root or a user with UserAdmin authorization can:

chuser shell=/usr/bin/ksh <userid>

XLiveCD X server is a good, free, cygwin based server for Windows, which can run direct from CD with no files installed on the PC. Look at http://xlivecd.indiana.edu for download and documentation.

cheers
