This page https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-get-started-with-freebsd-10-1 suggests that on login, I’ll be presented with the tcsh prompt. However, the droplet is defaulting to csh.
I can locate tcsh under /bin/tcsh but using setenv in my local .cshrc file doesn’t cause this shell to be used on next login.
How and where can I set tcsh as my default please?

Use vipw to edit /etc/master.passwd and select the shell you want
