In order to change shell for a particular user of Unix/Linux system without editing /etc/passwd file manually just use command:
chsh -s /path/to/shell username
for example, to change shell to ‘sh’ from ‘bash’ for user ‘viper’, use command:
chsh -s /bin/sh viper
Hi,
One can also sudo vim /etc/passwd
and change the shell column from sh to bash
or anything else and then :wq

Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Many thanks
