.SH DESCRIPTION
This command changes the login shell associated with
.IR username
(your own name by default).
-If no command interpreter is specified, then the login shell reverts
-to the default login shell
-.B /bin/sh.
While you can specify any program as a command interpreter, be
cautious about specifying a program that won't let you change your
login shell to something else (i.e., a noninteractive program like
.B chsh
displays the current shell, and prompts for the new one.
.PP
-The actual change will take place a couple of hours later.
+If invoked with the
+.BI \-w
+option, chsh will change the user's Windows shell instead of their
+UNIX shell. The default behavior is to change the user's UNIX shell,
+and the
+.BI \-u
+option is provided to explicitly select this behavior.
+
+The actual change will take place overnight.
Users may only change their own information unless they are
Moira database administrators.
