Dear Fink Beginners,

having just installed fink + several packages (including XFree86) on my shiny 
new PowerBook, I am puzzled by the following question:

In which of (OS X's) configuration files / menus do I change my default login 
shell (from tcsh to bash)?

Points to note:
- Changing the default in the OS X terminal obviously works for terminal.app. 
However, my xterms still happily start up tcsh.
- /etc/passwd is not the answer, correct?

I have searched the net for an answer for some time, but couldn't find one. 
My conclusions:
(a) It's really trivial and I am blind. Likely the answer, and I would be 
most happy for an eye-opener.
(b) It is not trivial because it's hardwired somewhere. Seems unlikely to me.
(c) It is extremely unadvisable to use anything but tcsh on OS X [e.g., an 
unwanted interaction between the kernel and .bashrc automatically auctions 
off my car on eBay, for $0.50], and I am unaware of that.

In either case, I would be most grateful for a short hint. 

Thanks,

Volker Blum
