Hi,
Today I messed around with zsh and login shells and found a strange thing - when I try to change my own login shell - chsh forbids me to do this:
$ chsh -s /bin/bash You may not change the shell for 'kravitz'. $ whoami kravitz
So it states, that I can't change login shell for current user, but lets look at manpage:
DESCRIPTION The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the users initial login command. A normal user may only change the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account.
Have you messed with PAM? Sounds like you blocked yourself in /etc/pam.d/chsh. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591
