So this it's either a bug in chsh or in its documentation. Does anyone has the same problem?
It seems to be working OK for me. I'm asked for my password, and then the shell is changed in /etc/passwd.
By the way, is it a typo in manpage: "for her own account"? Who is "her"? if we talk about user, there should be "his". But maybe I'm wrong, since english is definitely not my native language.
Some people like to use "her" instead of "him", but it's relatively rare. I think some do this as a philosophical statement of gender equality, but I expect there are other reasons too. Paul
