Well I haven't used Amiga UNIX, but I can tell you this much.  Under
Berkeley, the user can change his login shell with a command (the name
of it escapes me at the moment) but under System V, only the system
administrator can change the login shell.  And since Amiga UNIX is
System V (albeit Release 4), I would assume the latter is why you
couldn't change your login shell.
