10 years ago Hi Jay,
Thanks for you bug report!
The problem is that fizsh was written with the implicit assumption that people always would install it with uid 0. Therefore "/etc/fizsh" is currently assumed to be writable. Please excuses me for this piece of laziness (and/or ignorance).
Unfortunately I am quite busy now. Moreover, it may not easy to correct this bug. I will try to look into this later this week.
Best wishes,
Guido
