Description alberth289346 2012-01-21 14:56:09 UTC 
Just installed F16, and want to switch from the default /bin/bash shell to my normal zsh shell.
'chsh' however fails:

[hat3@localhost ~]$ chsh
chsh: chsh: your shell is not in /etc/shells, shell change denied: Permission denied
[hat3@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/shells
/sbin/nologin
/bin/dash
/bin/zsh
[hat3@localhost ~]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
[hat3@localhost ~]$ grep hat3 /etc/passwd
hat3:x:1000:1000:hat3:/home/hat3:/bin/bash
Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2012-01-21 21:16:59 UTC 
Thanks for report, but this has nothing to do with chsh - the culprit is buggy bash package - unfortunately even the update to latest bash doesn't solve the issue, only yum reinstall bash after the update will help. Closing duplicate...
