System type, version:	VAX750 version 5.5T
System name:		demeter
What's wrong:

demeter% whoami
ceg
demeter% passwd.real -s 
Changing login shell for ceg.
Old shell: /bin/unsupported_tcsh
New shell: /bin/csh
/bin/csh is unacceptable as a new shell.
demeter% cat /etc/shells
# List of acceptable shells for chsh/passwd -s
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who do not have one of these shells
#
#       $Source: /source/config/common/RCS/shells,v $
#       $Header: shells,v 1.1 87/08/09 13:10:55 treese Locked $
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/unsupported_tcsh

What should have happened:

Passwd.real -s should allow me to change to /bin/csh.  It works on
charon.
