Bug Description

http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/nodes.html#virtual-machine-nodes says:

| Add a login shell for the maas user:
|
| $ sudo chsh maas
| $ /bin/bash

At first glance it looks like this is asking you to run chsh and then
run /bin/bash (since a '$' prefix in the rest of docs indicates a
command to be run in the shell). But I suspect what it actually means
is to answer /bin/bash to the question chsh asks.

It'd be clearer, IMHO, to either:

 a) suggest the user run 'sudo chsh -s /bin/bash maas'

 b) remove the '$ ' in front of /bin/bash
