1. You can use the chsh(1) utility (see `man chsh` for details)
2. ... or, edit the /etc/passwd and in the line with your login-name
change "bash" to "tcsh"

It depends on what you want to change:
1.) if you want to change your login shell then you have to use
chsh /path_where_your_tcsh_is/tcsh
2.) but if you only want to execute the tcsh in your current session you
only have to use
exec /path_where_your_tcsh_is/tcsh

Hope that helps.

And don't forget to add /bin/tcsh to /etc/shells (if it is missing from there).

: from there).

I've always wondered the reason for the existance of /etc/shells. Why
does the system care what you run for a shell? Is there some security
issue? If I want to "chsh $HOME/myShellProgram" it's not going to
hurt anybody else is it? Or for that matter, "chsh /bin/date" isn't
going to hurt the system either...

I always thought that the philosophy of Unix was to try to keep you
from doing stupid things that hurt others, but if you want to hang
yourself, go right ahead.
