xenodm and Bash issue

[srivo]

I did a fresh install of OpenBSD 6.8 with xenodm and XFCE. Everything is working perfectly until I changed my user shell to bash! Once my shell is changed to bash I can't loggin anymore using xenodm.

Even if I remove bash go back to ksh and remove everything in my folder I still can't login! I add to delete my user and recreate it to be able to login again using xenodm.

How are you changing your login shell?

This works for me:

chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

Check /var/log/xenodm.log for any relevant error messages.

I have used:

usermod -s bash

should the full path name be used?

Yes. You also need to add the username at the end but I think you already know that.

And for the record I was able to repair my user account with

# usermod -s /bin/ksh empty

(My username is "empty".)

Thanks!
when I tried to comeback to ksh i did the same and that's why it didn't solve the problem.

usemod -s ksh srivo
