How to change default shell in FreeBSD?
The default shell in FreeBSD is sh
and I really can't stand it: autocomplete is very limited, and rehash commands kill me. I feel like a one armed and one legged man...
How can I change the shell globally to zsh
or bash
- for root and for all current and future users?
For existing users, use the chsh
command (“change shell”):
chsh -s SHELL USER
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash root
For future users:
- Edit "
/etc/pw.conf
"defaultshell
keywords - When use
adduser()
, choose necessary shell
