Hi,

Why is the windows shell entry a mandatory non-null field? Our intent was
that null be allowed, in this case the default shell would be used.

So this isn't a stanley bug, more of a data bug:

stanley danutek -cl GUEST03M

gave me "stanley: DBMS system error occurred while updating user."
and the zephyr to -c moira said something about a mandatory non-null
field being null.  It turns out his windows shell entry was set to
null, so nothing else could be updated while that was the case.   I
set it back to cmd, and forgot to look at the last-modified-by, but
the moira backup locker seems to suggest it was reg_svr, so I don't
know where the blank came from.
