/etc/passwd in potato

[Ethan Benson <erbenson@alaska.net>]

I was looking through the /etc/passwd that was installed on my new 
potato install (direct not from slink) and I noticed alot of users 
that have their shell set to /bin/sh that should probably be set to 
/bin/false.

for example i installed qmail on my old redhat system and all the 
qmail users were installed with the shell set to /bin/true (btw is 
there any advantage to using true instead of false or vise versa?) on 
my potato /etc/passwd they are all set to /bin/sh.

in fact the only users that have the shell set to /bin/false rather 
then /bin/sh are postfix, telnetd, rwhod, identd, and ftp

also note that i did not install qmail on this system, so why are 
qmail users present?  there are several users installed here that 
have to do with packages i do not have installed...

what is the deal here?
