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.
