+ <para>
+ The <command>chsh</command> command changes the user login shell.
+ This determines the name of the user's 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.

+ The options which apply to the <command>chsh</command> command are:

+ <para>
+ If the <option>-s</option> option is not selected,
+ <command>chsh</command> operates in an interactive fashion, prompting
+ the user with the current login shell. Enter the new value to change
+ the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current
+ shell is displayed between a pair of <emphasis>[ ]</emphasis> marks.

+ <title>NOTE</title>
+ <para>
+ The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command
+ name must be listed in <filename>/etc/shells</filename>, unless the
+ invoker is the superuser, and then any value may be added. An
+ account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell.
+ For this reason, placing <filename>/bin/rsh</filename> in
+ <filename>/etc/shells</filename> is discouraged since accidentally
+ changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever
+ changing her login shell back to its original value.
