No, chsh changes the login shell for the user within /etc/passwd. It
won't affect any currently active shells.
What happens when you do an
/bin/bash --login
That should start a login shell. If you still only get the tab
character, check if you've got the line
set -o vi
in /etc/profile, /etc/ba

I thought of that -- I logged out and back in, no joy. I rebooted, same thing.
I wasn't too surprised. I assumed that rebooting the machine would just put
stuff back the way it was. And t
After an chsh, you have to log out & in again.

Good question. Another very likely error. And I'd answer it if the massively
obsolete box wasn't powered down and in the give-away bin :-)
I'll look into it tomorrow.

Ahah! As root, echo $SHELL says /bin/bash. As a user, it says /bin/sh. And sh
is dash. That explains a *lot*. Maybe.
I'll see if I can find the dastardly script that does that.

Yes. And I wasn't -- it was dash.
So I:
'chsh -s /bin/bash'
'ls Do\t'
and got a tab.

Nope. According to 'man sh', it's dash. I understood that dash is a fixed bash.
But why would it work for root and no
