|I downloaded ksh and wanted to make it my login shell. I tried to use the
|chpass command:
|
|zit1: {1} chpass -s ksh
|chpass: ksh: non-standard shell
|chpass: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged
|
|Why is ksh not a standard shell ? How can I fix this ? Thanks.
Look at the /etc/shells file:
{io!dlr} /etc 147> ls -al /etc/shells
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 161 Feb 10 1995 /etc/shells
{io!dlr} /etc 148> less shells
# List of acceptable shells for chpass(1).
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using
# one of these shells.
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/usr/local/bin/tcsh
edit it and add ksh. prob need to use full path. then use chpass to change
your shell.
