well, in the past i just typed bash and used it like an executable but that gets rid of my nice prompt well, i did use ypchpass -s bash mshobe1 and it said information changed there were not immediate though as my shell has not yet changed; every time i log back on i get tcsh i called systems and they said that it takes a couple of hours, i guess i'll find out, but for the time being, if you want to change shells, you must use one of the irix.gl systems to do it...
