Changing user login shell to new bash release

[Khan Smith]

   I have system (Trisquel 9.0) with Bash Version 4.4.20.  Have installed
   Bash 5.1.8 using

   cd build
   ../../../src/bash/bash-5.1.8/configure
   make
   sudo make install

   "which bash" is giving "/usr/local/bin/bash" and doing

   "/usr/local/bin/bash --version"

   gives

   GNU bash, version 5.1.8(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

   To change my login I will be doing

   1.  Add /usr/local/bin/bash to the file /etc/shells"
   2.  Execute as myself the command "chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash"

   Would the procedure be correct to do?
