       lchsh - Change login shell


SYNOPSIS
       lchsh [OPTION]... [user]


DESCRIPTION
       Displays and allows changing login shell of user.

       If  the  user argument is not provided, username of the invoking user is used; the user argument is ignored if
       lchsh is run set-uid to a different user.

       Entering an empty string (by pressing Enter) at the "New Shell" prompt is interpreted as accepting the current
       value.

BUGS
       lchsh ignores /etc/shells.
