How to recognize the Shell?

Hello All

I am working on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 when I logged on to the shell and then write echo $SHELL it shows me the result /bin/bash
and when I write csh, the prompt changes and I feel that I am now working upon C shell but when I do echo $SHELL it shows me the result /bin/bash, but it should be the output something like /bin/csh why does it still showing me the echo /bin/bash

Thanks
ADI

NAME
virt-login-shell - tool to execute a shell within a container matching the users name SYNOPSIS
virt-login-shell DESCRIPTION
The virt-login-shell program is a setuid shell that is used to join an LXC container that matches the user's name. If the container is not running, virt-login-shell will attempt to start the container. virt-sandbox-shell is not allowed to be run by root. Normal users will get added to a container that matches their username, if it exists, and they are configured in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf. The basic structure of most virt-login-shell usage is: virt-login-shell OPTIONS
-h, --help Display command line help usage then exit. -V, --version Display version information then exit. CONFIG
By default, virt-login-shell will execute the /bin/sh program for the user. You can modify this behaviour by defining the shell variable in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf. eg. shell = [ "/bin/ksh", "--login"] By default no users are allowed to use virt-login-shell, if you want to allow certain users to use virt-login-shell, you need to modify the allowed_users variable in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf. eg. allowed_users = [ "tom", "dick", "harry" ] BUGS
Report any bugs discovered to the libvirt community via the mailing list "http://libvirt.org/contact.html" or bug tracker "http://libvirt.org/bugs.html". Alternatively report bugs to your software distributor / vendor. AUTHORS
