Hello, here is a patch to solve this issue. Its documentation is included in the header. Alex, this bug is "yours". I leave to you the decision about it actual inclusion or rework.
Bye, Mt.
Goal: make sure that we have a decent default SHELL setting in adduser Fixes: #48304, which reincarned into #293492 Status wrt upstream: Tomasz would prefer to have a decent fall back rather than default setting (thinking about wrongly typed shell for root). This is how it works under solaris. But he's ok with this patch, as temporary fix.
