shells - pathnames of valid login shells
/etc/shells is a text file which contains the full pathnames of
valid login shells. This file is consulted by chsh(1) and
available to be queried by other programs.
Be aware that there are programs which consult this file to find
out if a user is a normal user; for example, FTP daemons
traditionally disallow access to users with shells not included
in this file.
/etc/shells
/etc/shells may contain the following paths:
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/bin/csh
chsh(1), getusershell(3), pam_shells(8)
