I am working with Ubuntu and I would like to change my default shell to z shell. I cannot use the chsh -s /bin/zsh or chsh-s /bin/sh myuser command since my user name does not exist in /etc/passwd and it's actually a network user. Any idea to work around it and make zsh my default shell?

  • I currently load zsh using .bashrc but I am looking for the actual solution.

    Where is your Ubuntu box getting its list of network users from? An LDAP server or something? Did you try fixing your record in that LDAP server?

  • If you get your user account from a NIS server, ypchsh where yp stands for yellow pages might work. But for a precise solution you need to provide more details...
