       cchhsshh  will  change  the login shell for the specified user
       (only the superuser is  permitted  to  change  shells  for
       other  users).  If the user is not root, the user is first
       prompted for the password.  Then the current shell is dis-
       played,	followed  by  a	list  of  allowed  shells  (from
       _/_e_t_c_/_s_h_e_l_l_s).  The user is prompted to pick  a  new  shell
       from  the list.	The shell is then changed in the password
       file.
