Hi,
Could you please verify that your *current* shell in listed in
/etc/shells? If not, could you please add it and try "chsh" once
more?
For historical reasons AFS users at CERN often have shells prepended
with "/usr/local", ie "/usr/local/bin/bash". This is changed on SLC5...
hth, cheers, Jan

Maybe you are picking up an unexpected chsh program. Does
which chsh
return "/usr/bin/chsh"?
It returns the appropriate path.
$ which chsh
/usr/bin/chsh
$ whereis chsh
chsh: /usr/bin/chsh /usr/share/man/man1/chsh.1.gz
I even tried lchsh with no luck. It is supposed to bypass /etc/shells
$ lchsh username

Changing shell for username.
Error initializing libuser: not executing with superuser privileges.

Thanks for the reply.
