Try using "su -m" which will keep your current environment (and use
the same shell as you are using as a user). Then when your id is
root, use "chsh root". Note that you -HAVE- to specify "root" to
chsh, since I'm not sure if it will get the user right and might end
up editing your simple user's shell instead :)
