Subject: switching shells

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.
