>I used vipw to set my regular user's shell to tcsh. /etc/passwd shows
it correct now but I still appear to be getting sh as my shell. If I
run tcsh, I then get the tab completion. But how do I get the terminal
to put me in tcsh automatically?

Hello,

When you say "my shell," do you mean root's shell? If so, changing
root's shell is not a good idea. That's what the toor account is for.
(Let the bikeshedding begin!) If you mean your personal shell, try
running pwd_mkdb on /etc/passwd to see if that fixes the problem.

HTH,

stheg
