Note that the shell names that chsh(1) will accept are *compiled in*!
So, if it won't take your requests to change your shell talk to your
system administrator.  He/She can either (1) just edit the /etc/passwd
file (assuming a non-YP system, of course), or (2) if source for
chsh(1) is around, update/recompile it.
