NAME
       shells - pathnames of valid login shells

DESCRIPTION
       /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	disal‐
       low access to users with shells not included in this file.
