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. >What happens if you remove that and try running bash fromt he >command-line? Same, either just running bash or the 'bash --login'.
