Description Michael S. 2012-06-03 09:13:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
chsh refuse to change the shell to zsh, as it was moved from /bin/ to /usr/bin, and neither /etc/shells not the package have taken this in account.

See http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/1785/why-chsh-shell-not-changed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
zsh-4.3.17-1.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
each time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. chsh -s /bin/zsh
  
Actual results:
"Shell not changed"

Expected results:
"Shell was changed"

Additional info:

A way to fix is to add to /etc/shells the correct path of zsh, ie in /usr/bin/

patch to not hardcode /bin in the spec

Here is a patch, I didn't test it yet, and I think we should take in account the upgrade issue ( ie, cleaning /etc/shells )

Mhh, seems I was wrong with the whole bug stuff and my testing was wrong, let me close the bug.
