I've checked in a patch to passwd, which contacts $LOGONSERVER by default.
If that doesn't help, I added a new option:
$ pass

For rxvt it's "-e", and I don't see how it's more obvious than changing an
explicit invocation of bash...

It's rather frustrating that there is no chsh, or worse still that the
/etc/passwd shell is ignored and one has to resort to ugly hacks to get a
