amon-re# pw usermod erins -s zsh
pw: no default shell available or defined

I've added it to /etc/shells:

/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/zsh
/usr/local/bin/rzsh
/usr/local/bin/bash

When I log in as my user (erins), if I run ps, it shows sh as the
shell running.  Am I missing an important step someplace here?

  If you wanna change default shell, edit /etc/master.passwd and run
  pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
