I had locally managed SMB appliance and that didn't changed nothing. When I tried typing egrep <username> /etc/passwd it still showed that my default shell is /bin/clish.

Instead of that I've tried this (R81.10):

1. Log in to expert mode with desired user (that needs bash shell).

2. Type bashUser on

 

I hope this will help someone.

How many ways to: change user's shell

  1. clish command:
    set user USERNAME shell /bin/bash

  2. Bash command:
    chsh --shell /bin/bash USERNAME

  3. usermod utility:
    usermod --shell /bin/bash USERNAME

  4. /etc/passwd file directly:
    (nano or vi) /etc/passwd

2, 3, and 4 are likely to be overwritten when you make other changes in clish. I can't stand clish, so this irritates me deeply.
