amon-re# pw usermod erins -s zsh
pw: no default shell available or defined
I've added it to /etc/shells:
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/shells,v 1.5 2000/04/27 21:58:46 ache Exp $
#
# List of acceptable shells for chpass(1).
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using
# one of these shells.
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/zsh
/usr/local/bin/rzsh
/usr/local/bin/bash
When I log in as my user (erins), if I run ps, it shows sh as the
shell running. Am I missing an important step someplace here?
