Sounds like you are running 10.2, and did an upgrade/archive install of
10.3. In 10.3, the default shell for new users is 'bash', which is a
change from 10.2 and earlier, where it was 'tcsh'.
In 10.3, you can, from terminal, use 'chsh' to change your default
shell. You do not need root privileges to do this. In 10.2 and
earlier (FWIW), you use one of the netinfo utilities (NetinfoManager,
nicl, niutil).

Justin
