You'll need to change your default shell - it's the easiest way and
will cause the least problems.
You should use (assuming you want tcsh - the default shell for Jaguar):
NetInfo Manager to change the actual settings:
Authenticate as an administrator by clicking the lock at the bottom of
the window
in the middle of the window, click on the domain /, then users, then
<your_user_name>
scroll down in the pane at the bottom of the window until you find the
line that says shell
change its value from /bin/bash to /bin/tcsh
Go to the domain menu and say Save Changes
Go to the management menu and say Restart Local NetInfo domains
You may also want to use chpass to modify /etc/passwd to reflect this
change (to avoid confusion or possible problems if you every end up
using /etc/passwd)
execute the following line in a terminal window:
chpass -s /bin/tcsh
Maybe there's a nicer way to do it - but this way will work if you
don't mind using NetInfo manager.

After I managed to delete my user files I'm trying to fix everything
like it was.
I'm a bit confused because before my x11 and terminal.app would launch
in csh shell, now when I boot them both they are bash.
I don't want to change the default system login files in /etc , just
want to make a default login in my home folder.
What file do I need to place in my home folder to make terminal.app
and x11 boot in csh?
