Yes, /bin/false is a valid shell.
We are going to install a new machine. This machine must have a hardware
problem of some sort. The shells that Radius is saying is wrong are parts of
the password file belonging to another customer.
This machine also locks up periodically for a few seconds at a time.
This is something else that makes us believe it's a hardware issue.

Is /bin/false listed as a valid shell? I am not sure how
freeradius handles this, but most apps want it listed as a shell. Do you
see this error with other users who have a valid shell?
