I can understand that GDM do not allow people to login in if they have no valid shell, but at the moment you can do this, moreover you can start shell!
It's not a consistent behaviour of GDM (or saying more Gnome), what is a bug. (I changed the description to better describe the problem). BTW. It might make some confusion if you are using NIS to login. You have valid login but you don't login to one of the system because shell of your choice is not there. ** Summary changed: - Users without valid login are not presented in Face list + Users without valid login are not presented in Face list, but can login and start shell ** Tags added: login passwd setting shell user -- Users without valid login are not presented in Face list, but can login and start shell https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
