Hi everybody,

The problem is quite simple, I want to change my default shell which is /bin/csh to /bin/bash. I have looked online for solutions to my problem, but to no avail.

I have tried chsh, but it tells me this:

chsh: can only change local entries; use ypchsh instead.

I use ypchsh, but I get:

ypchsh: can't get local yp domain: Local domain name not set

I looked at /etc/passwd, and I don't have an entry in this file.

However when I do, getent passwd d.tang

d.tang:x:10948:20004:Dave Tang:/home/d.tang:/bin/csh

I don't have root privileges, but even if I did I don't even know where this information is coming from.

Could someone shed some light on this?

Many thanks,

Dave

PS Currently I just setup .cshrc to say /bin/bash and when that changes my .bashrc and .bash_profile are loaded.
