Greg asked:

There's no such file.

Jonathan, however, found the cause.  My shell is /bin/athena/tcsh, and
that wasn't in /etc/shells.  The default /etc/shells under layered
Linux 8.4.5 came out to be:

/bin/bash
/bin/sh
/bin/ash
/bin/bsh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/csh

But it looks like the right version should look more like this (which
is what's on 8.4.5 IRIX):

# List of acceptable shells for chsh/passwd -s
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who do not have one of these
shells

/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/athena/tcsh
/bin/athena/bash
/afs/sipb/project/tcsh/tcsh
/afs/sipb/project/tcsh/t
/afs/sipb/project/tcsh/betatcsh
/afs/sipb/project/tcsh/b
/afs/athena/project/gnu/bin/bash
/afs/sipb/project/bash/bash

-B.
