    You mean csh??

    Well, you can edit the /etc/passwd file directly and do it manually. That is assuming /bin/csh is installed on your system, otherwise Bad Things will happen

    Thnaks

    Ya it is csh . My mistake . I did changed the shell by editing the /etc/passwd file, but I think the other way of doing it i.e
    Code:
    usermod -s /bin/csh vickey
    us better. But this command does not work in my system, though man pages are available.
