Specifying a tcsh shell using winbind

The campus system that I use has switched to using winbind. In the old days, I was able to specify tcsh as my shell with the usual entry in /etc/passwd. But I'm told winbind doesn't have user specific entries, and now my ssh login defaults to a bash shell. Can anybody advise how I can specify tcsh please?

Thanks for any advise!

Change the .profile file in your login directory to specify your shell:
add this as the last two lines of .profile:

Code:
/bin/tcsh
exit
