Hello,
The recent changes to /etc/shells reminded me that I'd changed this
conffile, and I'd like to see if this change might be considered
generally useful enough to be included in the package.
On Unix systems in the past, I've been able to distinguish between
accounts that are allowed to log in (normal shell), accounts that are
not allowed to log in but are allowed access to other network services
(/bin/true), and accounts that are needed on the system but should not
be allowed remote access (/bin/false). IME, this is a very useful
convention for creating ftp-only accounts; but of course, it depends on
everyone agreeing that /bin/true should *not* be used as a shell for
accounts that should be denied ftp access.
Regards,

Which basically means that our only option is to close the bug..:-)
/etc/shells is indeed, as you pointed on IRC, no more a conffile.
.../...
then I forgot to really close the bug. Hence doing so.
