On Debian systems, the user 'nobody' has a shell: nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/home:/bin/sh Why is this? I looked on a bunch of other unix systems, and *none* of them give 'nobody' a shell.
another thing, I had installed qmail on a redhat system and the install scripts created the qmail uses with the shell set to /bin/true, debian gives all the qmail uids /bin/sh
