Change Linux user shell
To change shell for a user, run

I will add a user, if no shell specified, it use sh as shell.

root@lab:~# useradd okadmin root@lab:~# su - okadmin No directory, logging in with HOME=/ $ echo $SHELL /bin/sh $ exit root@lab:~# chsh --shell /bin/bash okadmin root@lab:~# su - okadmin No directory, logging in with HOME=/ okadmin@lab:/$ echo $SHELL /bin/bash okadmin@lab:/$ logout root@lab:~# |
You can find what shell you are using now with command
