I wanted to install some plugins as user=squeezecenter.
Since I couldn't su to it from root (I'm running debian), I found the
above post and did:
chsh -s /bin/bash squeezecenter

It worked fine and I was able to su squeezecenter, install my plugins
and exit back to root.

I then did:
chsh -s /usr/sbin/nologin squeezecenter

But I'm not sure that's right?
Because if I now do "su squeezecenter" I get "This account is currently
not available.", whereas before I just got nothing "".

So am I really setting the shell back to the original setting with
"nologin" or am I doing something wrong?
Is there some .profile or something like it for the squeezecenter user,
where the shell is stated?

Hope you understand my rambling. i just want the SC user set back as it
was before I switched to the bash shell.
