NAME
     chsh - changes the default login shell

SYNOPSIS
     chsh name [shell]

ARGUMENTS
     name Specifies the name of the user.

     shell
          Specifies the login shell to be changed to.  If no

          default login shell /bin/sh.  Otherwise only /bin/csh
          or /bin/ksh can be specified as the shell unless you
          are the superuser, or the shell named is listed in
          /etc/shells.

DESCRIPTION
     chsh is a command similar to passwd(1) except that it is
     used to change the login shell field of the password file
     rather than the password entry.

EXAMPLES
     An example of this command is:

        chsh rusty /bin/csh
