Linux Change Shell access

Use this to check any shell in the Linux system

cat /etc/shells

[root@server01 ~]# cat /etc/shells
/bin/bash
/bin/bash2
/sbin/e-smith/console
/bin/csh
/bin/false
/usr/bin/rssh
/bin/sh

Then use this to check which shell the user is using (ithk01 is the user id)

grep ithk01 /etc/passwd


Then use

chsh --shell /bin/bash ithk01


For SME Linux do this

Shell Access

• I need to give a user shell access to the SME Server.

Shell access should only be provided to users who have a *need* for it and can be trusted.

Before a user can have shell access Admin must enable ssh access at

server-manager -> Security -> Remote Access

You then enable shell access for a user by:

db accounts setprop username Shell /bin/bash
chsh -s /bin/bash username
