There're 3 shells in my NetBSD/mac68k box and default shell(=login
shell) is "csh" for both root and me.

/bin/ksh

I typed shell itself to check how it works(or runs?).

nana: {1} ksh
$             <--- return (just test)
$ man ksh     <--- works fine
$             <--- return (just test)
$ csh
nana: {1}     <--- returned to csh well

Why don't you give that commmand a try?  

Don't delete shell programs before changing "/etc/shell" and "vipw"
using _chsh_ and _chpass -s shell-name_. You would go to hell if you
deleted shells before changing.

Take care,
