/etc/shells micropolicy The expected audience of this is debian developers packaging programs meant to be used as login shells. /etc/shells is no longer a config file, but is maintained by the add-shell and remove-shell programs. So, if a package contains something that the maintainer thinks ought to be a valid login shell, it's postinst should, (on initial install only, to allow a sysadmin to take it out again), run: /usr/sbin/add-shell /path/to/shell In the postrm, probably on remove, the package should call /usr/sbin/remove-shell /path/to/shell As the various shells start to use it, the default shells list will shrink.
