because there is a better way.

install the bash and become root(unfortionally they have configured user may not change it himself):
then simply type:
Code:
#chsh user
please don't fuss around with the passwd file!

[nb rant: that happens when you forbid the user to change things the easy way, they start doing dangerous things^^]
