NIS chsh problem

[Andrea Rossi]

How can a NIS account change his own shell permanently?

Hello Andrea
I think you can change the shell only
in the password file on the nis server.

I hope so.

Best whishes

hai,

hp-ux is not having the separate command as like ypchsh. By default chsh is supporting to change the shell permanently as,

chsh -r nis login-name [shell]

see the chsh(1) man page to know more about change the shell type.

Hi Andrea,

the only way i can think of is to change it either in the .profile (export SHELL=) or in the .cshrc (setenv SHELL ) depending on the initial shell you're using
