UH disabled the chsh command. They had problems with people using chfn to
change their name so they decided to remove everything that lets you
change anything in the passwd file (except for the actual passwd which
it grabs from yp anyways). I'm not sure but if you talk to the people at
the help desk they might change your shell for you, but I doubt it.
