I've installed SSH and all on my iPhone so I can ssh in and get a terminal window. But for some reason I can't get it to use bash as the default shell instead of sh. I found this which says that I need to create the file /etc/shells and list the shells in it or it won't work, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. If I edit /etc/master.passwd and change root's shell to /bin/bash from /bin/sh whenever I ssh in I just immediately get disconnected.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I was just adjusting this myself. I found that it's easier to just edit your /etc/profile. I'm used to Linux so I gave it a shot and works similarly. Here is mine.

# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/private/var/root/bin"
export PATH

/bin/bash

if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
fi
