/etc/rc.initial, line 114 (on my build, anyway). For whatever reason, choosing option 8 invokes tcsh(1) directly. Presumably you could change this, but I don't know what else this could break... *probably* nothing except future updates, or more likely you'd have to re-change the file after every update.
Alternatively, you might try changing the login shell for *admin*, not root. I believe that having multiple users with the same UID but different login shells officially results in "undefined" behaviour, but obviously it works with /etc/passwd under FreeBSD. I can't tell if this was the original intent (does this qualify as "Stupid passwd(5) Tricks" à la Letterman?) or not, but there's root, toor, and admin, all with UID 0. Obviously the last one in the file wins. It appears that "root" is logged in automatically (well, sort of... "root" logs in but "admin"'s data is used for getpwent(3) calls, whatever...) by adding "al=root" to the terminal definition in (iirc) /etc/gettytab. This whole setup appears to be... not "fragile", exactly, more like "no user-serviceable parts inside". Pending one of the devs chiming in, I'd guess editing /etc/rc.initial is the least likely option to break anything. And yeah, having tcsh as the default shell is annoying, but really - why are you spending so much time at the CLI on your *firewall* that you feel you have to change it? FWIW, I'm looking at the installable version, not the embedded version, so YMMV. -Adam Thompson athom...@athompso.net > -----Original Message----- > From: Harald Jenny [mailto:har...@a-little-linux-box.at] > Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 16:08 > To: discussion@pfsense.com > Subject: [pfSense-discussion] pfSense 2.0 ssh login question > > Dear list members, > > I'm currently playing with pfSense 2.0 an was wondering how to > change the > default shell for the root login - apperently just using chsh on > the rw mounted > cf is not enough to do change shell from /bin/sh to /bin/tcsh.
