What is your current shell, as shown by `getent passwd kravitz`? chsh refuses the change if the current shell isn't in /etc/shells; this is noted (a bit unclearly) under "NOTES" in the manpage. > By the way, is it a typo in manpage: "for her own account"?

Since the user's gender is unknown, both 'his' and 'her' are common usage, as well as 'his/her' and singular 'their'; this depends entirely on the writer.
