Well, first, installing bash or bash2 would probably be a good idea since it is not part of the base FreeBSD distribution. There are bash ports, /usr/ports/shells/bash and /usr/ports/shells/bash2, as well as precompiled packages. Once you install bash, % man chsh Will allow a mortal user to change his shell. The root user can change anyone and everyone's shell with a quick, % man vipw And finally, if you want to make /usr/local/bin/bash the default for users added with the adduser(8) simply follow the prompts within adduser to put it in as teh default. -- Crist J.
