nobody's shell



I was just reading about the Securelinux Crack and saw that part of the 
crack involved getting a shell as "nobody".  See

I checked my slink machine and, sure enough, "nobody" had /bin/sh as his
shell.  Is there ANY need for this at all?  Shouldn't nobody have /bin/false
as his shell?
