# Change Default Shell For A User
|
|
|
|
You can change the default shell program for a particular unix user with the
|
|
`chsh` command. Just tell it what shell program you want to use (e.g. `bash`
|
|
or `zsh`) and which user the change is for:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ [sudo] chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh username
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command needs to be invoked with root privileges.
|
|
|
|
This command updates the entry for that user in the `/etc/passwd` file.
