Hi everyone,

I want to change my login shell on a SL 4.8 machine I don't have root
access to (atcanpc, its only accessible from lxplus). I have tried
`chsh -s `which bash`'. But that returns me the following error: chsh:
Your shell is not in /etc/shells, shell change denied. However when I
do `chsh -l' I see /bin/bash in it.

Is there any solution to this? Thanks for any pointers.
