Change your shell to bash

First, need to build from the ports tree.
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
make install

Edit the shells file
vi /etc/shells

Add this line if does not already exist;
/usr/local/bin/bash

Execute the chsh command and change the line that says;
Shell: /bin/csh

to
Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash

Logout and login again and you will have a bash shell!
