how do I change my shell type on freebsd.oceanius.com?
I want to change it from sh to bash.
I tried changing it via usermin, but I couldn't do it.

Thanks!

Erik

Errr since when is this forum called Oceanius' support? :roll:

Perhaps chsh - http://www.rt.com/man/chsh.1.html ?

DenisF: sorry, I probably had oceanius's forum opet at the same time as this forum

Matej: I tried chsh, here is what I get

Code: Select all: erik@freebsd$ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash Password: chsh: pw_mkdb(): Unknown error: 0 erik@freebsd$

Try "chsh" with nothing else and modify it that way. Sounds like a permission error to stop pw_mkdb rebuilds.

Either that or contact their root team to change it.

hi,

this is a known problem on freebsd... and I do not have any explanation, nor I have seesn any solution or it.

I (root) can change it for you - fast solution.
...and I hope that 5.3 upgrade will solve the problem.
