       Sometime during the winter, tcsh was installed on the vax1 here.  I've    been trying to change from csh to tcsh for a while now with no luck whatsoever. I no several people who have changed over with no problems, but I can't seem to get it to work.  I've tried the following:

     chsh tcsh
     chsh /usr/local/tcsh
     chsh tcsh /users/ (my user ID #)
     chsh /usr/local/tcsh /users/(my #s again)

      All of which do absolutely nothing.  No error message, no change of shell, nothing.
      When I use:
         passwd -s /usr/local/tcsh
      I get a 'permission denied'.
      chsh in any other combination I've tried tells me I must specify either    csh or sh.  I know tcsh is in /usr/local, and I know a number of people have    made it their default shell.  What am I doing wrong?  
      The only other solution I've come up with is to put 'tcsh' as the first    line in my .cshrc file, but that screws things up, too.

                                    Thanks,
