Thanks %>. Worked that out from when I used a free shell account that
didn't allow access to chsh. And 'cause the last time I tried (3.5.3,
can't remember if I tried in any of the test releeases), chsh didn't
work (can't remember details). I'll try it again.

Same, either just running bash or the 'bash --login'. I'm re-flashing
right now, so I'll try a few more things to try to find the problem.
