Everybody on the system has to use tcsh as login shell, because this allows us to put a standard configuration into each account. But don't worry, it's no problem to change the shell for all further operations after the login. Just put `setenv SHELL /usr/sepp/bin/zsh` into your `~/.login ` file. Each terminal you start will then invoke `zsh`.
Everybody on the system has to use `bash` as login shell, because this allows us to put a standard configuration into each account. This remains the default shell of a User.

Just put `export SHELL=/bin/zsh` into your `~/.bashrc` or `setenv SHELL /bin/zsh` in your `~/.cshrc` (in case you where not yet switched to bash as default shell and still have it set to `tcsh`) and then `exec` the shell wanted.

How can I have zsh as my default shell?

Everybody on the system has to use bash as login shell, because this allows us to put a standard configuration into each account. This remains the default shell of a User.

But don't worry, it's no problem to change the shell for all further operations after the login. Just put export SHELL=/bin/zsh into your ~/.bashrc or setenv SHELL /bin/zsh in your ~/.cshrc (in case you where not yet switched to bash as default shell and still have it set to tcsh) and then exec the shell wanted.
