That system I used above has a /etc/shells. shells(5) says it's used by chsh(1), and perhaps by a FTP server that wants to check the user is a valid login user. (Back before FTP servers had their own configuration files.) I suspect script(1) doesn't care. :-) -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
