[X-Unix] Changing the default shell

[Ryan Duff]

The full command is: 

chsh -s bash

Then you can go in and edit your .profile and .bashrc files.

Hope this helps. Mac Addict had an article on it in the how to section a
while back. I can't seem to remember the issue though. Actually, the just
republished it in the August 2004 issue on page 67.

Use the chsh command - see man chsh.
