1/3 no hurry but do you know of:
$ chsh
Password:
Enter the new value, or press return for the default
Login Shell [/usr/local/bin/bash]: /bin/zsh
failed: Insufficient access
\_ Yes. For now, email root@csua if you'd like to change your shell.
\_ oh i'm more interested in the how'd this happen/why, from a
system analysis/no fault point of view. was it the ldap?
\_ Yeah, it's the LDAP. sudo'ing chsh worked last time I tried
which, admittedly, was a while ago. We may just move back to
passwd and put up LDAP w/ a passwd backend. --t
\_ The underlying reason is that the way we 'sorry' people
who need to have their account disabled is by changing
their shell. If you can change your own shell, you could
connect to LDAP directly and change it to be un-sorried.
So we need to figure out a way to fix that little
loophole... that's why changing shell is disabled. As
mentioned earlier, email root@csua for shell changes. |
