Hmmm. tcsh-6.09.00-128 is installed (I installed "almost everything" so it certainly should have been installed). I userdel'ed my account and then tried useradding it as you have above and still could only get bash shell (despite what my shell environment variable says). Maybe once an account is set up as bash, it's always going to be bash. I'm going to re-install SuSE and NOT set up my account at install time. Maybe if the first time I add an account I use useradd and specify the correct shell, linux will actually allow me to use the shell.
Strange, possible that this "almost everything" is the culprit. If /etc/passwd contains /bin/tcsh as shell, one of the startup/login scripts is wrong. Try to follow the /etc/profile file, it reads some stuff in /etc/SuSEconfig/*, also check your ~/.* files, like .login, .profile etc. Try it with a test user as suggested in the previous mail, reinstall is not neccessary, rpm -e foo will do the trick. You have to find "foo" Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
