[linux] Changing default shell in Linux

You should have a 'skeleton' somewhere in /etc, probably /etc/skeleton, or check the default settings, probably /etc/default or something. Those are scripts that define standard environment variables getting set during a login.

If it is just for your own account: check the (hidden) file ~/.profile and ~/.login. Or generate them, if they don't exist. These are also evaluated by the login process.
