is it possible to change the default shell in Ubuntu?

I've already downloaded and installed (via aptitude) ksh; I was just wondering if I could get Terminal to automatically default to this when it starts rather than dash, which is what ubuntu normally comes with.

chsh <username> <shell path>

If that doesn't work, you can edit the line in /etc/passwd corresponding to the user for which you wish to change the shell. The last field is the login shell for the user. Make sure you make a backup though first. 😉
