!!DESCRIPTION |
| |
|
22 |
|
| |
|
23 |
|
| |
|
24 |
__chsh__ changes the user login shell. This determines |
| |
|
25 |
the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user |
| |
|
26 |
may only change the login shell for their own account, the |
| |
|
27 |
super user may change the login shell for any |
| |
|
28 |
account. |
| |
|
29 |
|
| |
|
30 |
|
| |
|
31 |
The only restrictions placed on the login shell is that the |
| |
|
32 |
command name must be listed in ''/etc/shells'', unless |
| |
|
33 |
the invoker is the super-user, and then any value may be |
| |
|
34 |
added. An account with a restricted login shell may not |
| |
|
35 |
change their login shell. For this reason, placing |
| |
|
36 |
__/bin/rsh__ in ''/etc/shells'' is discouraged since |
| |
|
37 |
accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent |
| |
|
38 |
the user from every changing their login shell back to its |
| |
|
39 |
original value. |
| |
|
40 |
|
| |
|
41 |
|
| |
|
42 |
If the __-s__ option is not selected, __chsh__ |
| |
|
43 |
operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with |
| |
|
44 |
the current login shell. Enter the new value to change the |
| |
|
45 |
field, or leave the line blank to use the current value. The |
| |
|
46 |
current value is displayed between a pair of __[[ ]__ |
| |
|
47 |
marks. |
| |
|
48 |
|
| |
|

|
| |
|

The file, __/etc/login.defs__, defines some configuration |
| |
|
51 |
options that affects how chsh operates, especially for |
| |
|
52 |
non-root users. |
