On my vanilla RH5.1 system, /bin/false is not in /etc/shells. Does this mean
these accounts can somehow login? It makes sense to me that my own user
defined shell would need to be in /etc/shells to work, but I'm not sure of
the significance of a shell that you intend to not allow access, not being
in /etc/shells.
hope that last sentence was readable.
