Dunno about that particular error...but... * Make sure /bin/zsh is listed in /etc/shells * Try doing the chsh command as root - it may have to run SUID root to alter the /etc/passwd file (writable only by root). The command would be 'chsh -s /bin/zsh username' Hope that helps. ~Jay On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, robert jorgenson wrote: > okay i am running suse 7.2 and using the bash shell ... when i use chsh > -s /usr/bin/zsh to switch to the z shell i get "configuration error - > unknow item 'UID_SYSTEM_MIN'" what is that and how can i fix it so i can > switch shells? > ________________________________________________ > See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail. > > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > -- ~Jay
