Hello all,

We have a nice problem and like to share it with you :-)

Whenever a user uses 'chsh' (change shell), the last 'h' gets chopped! For in-
stance:

$ chsh /bin/csh
$ grep I_the_user /thePasswdDir/passwd
I_the_user:aaaaaaaaaaaaa:1111:1111:My Real Name:/My/Dir:/bin/cs

Nice don't you think? This results in a 'No Shell'-error the next time the user
logs in. So for the time being we have disabled 'chsh', but we'd like to know if
somebody knows a workaround.

If so: please e-mail to the address mentioned below. Thanks
