I'm running OS X 10.4.3, with an up-to-date unstable fink. I've got zsh-4.2.5-22 installed, but if I set my shell to /sw/bin/zsh using NetInfo Manager, Terminal.app won't run. It fails with an error "You are not authorized to run this application. The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value." I get the same result on two computers. I've been using fink's zsh for many months, and only had this problem after updating to OS X 10.4.3. I've done some googling, but didn't find the smoking gun.

Is there something I needed to do to authorize fink's zsh to be my default shell, or is there a problem with the fink package and OS X 10.4.3?

Add the fink /sw/bin/zsh to /etc/shells

That did it.

Thanks.

Given that this wasn't needed until OS X 10.4.3, perhaps the need to edit /etc/shells should be added to the DescUsage field in the zsh.info file.
