Unable to install oh-my-zsh in crostini

Project Member Reported by ndesaulniers@google.com, May 2 2018

Issue description

Chrome version: 68.0.3416.0
OS: Chrome

Repro steps:
1. open crostini via terminal app
2. run `sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"`
3. enter corp password when asked to chsh

Expected: Default shell changed to zsh, installation of oh-my-zsh proceeds.
Actual: PAM: Authentication failure

 
why would you use your corp password ?  the container doesn't authenticate against your corp account.
What password am I supposed to use?
Status: WontFix (was: Untriaged)
By default user accounts in the container don't have a password, but in this case the problem seems to be with that install script. See https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/issues/1224

What I did to make it work was, after running the script (and getting the error), running sudo chsh -s $(which zsh) insert_username_here. Your username would be ndesaulniers.

Resolving this issue as it isn't a problem with crostini.
