I would be careful about doing that.  That might open ftp
access for accounts you dont want to have access.  Plus some
applications create special accounts without shells like
mysql,inetd,etc.

mysql:x:103:102:MySQL Server:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/false

You don't want to sacrifice security for convenience.
