Re: tab completion

[Ben Munat]

I used vipw to set my regular user's shell to tcsh. /etc/passwd shows it correct now but I 
still appear to be getting sh as my shell. If I run tcsh, I then get the tab completion. 
But how do I get the terminal to put me in tcsh automatically?

If you're using /bin/sh, then of course none of the given commands
will work as they are for tcsh.

Both root and the non-root user's shells are listed in /etc/passwd as 
/bin/tcsh, so where else would the shell get set? Can I just set all 
terminals and all users (i.e. me) to have the same shell with the same 
capabilities?

I suspect that /etc/passwd has gotten out of sync with master.passwd.
Don't edit /etc/passwd. Use vipw(1) and make your changes within
there.
