Can't change shell on 15-RELEASE AMD64

[epitaxial]

I'm unable to change my shell to bash. Bash is installed through pkg and I have used "chsh" to change my shell to

/usr/local/bin/bash

I login and and it's still the csh shell. Bash is also added to /etc/shells. I do an exec bash and it loads fine. What gives?

**edit**

Looks like my shell was indeed changed but my .bashrc was not being read. Mods feel free to delete this.

You might have to log out and log in again. You can grep your username in /etc/passwd, and see what it says for the shell.

 grep <username> /etc/passwd |awk -F: '{print $7}'

The awk part is if ya wanna get fancier and just show the shell. Then I get

 grep scottro /etc/passwd |awk -F: '{print $7}'
/usr/local/bin/bash

You can also edit your first post in the thread and mark it solved which is more useful than deleting it, as someone else might have the same question.
