[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#433587: request to add /usr/sbin/nologin to /etc/shells

[Mark Nipper]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.0.18.1-11
Severity: wishlist

        This is a request to add /usr/sbin/nologin to /etc/shells.  I
ran across a problem earlier with vsftpd not allowing access to a user
account which I only wished to allow FTP access on my system.  The
reason vsftpd was disallowing access was because /usr/sbin/nologin is
not listed in /etc/shells by default.  I think that it probably should
be.
