RE: /bin/sh for all users?



the /bin/flase shell is there, when you add a user you decide what shell
they have, if you dont want them to have a shell edit the passwd file and
make any changes you feel are needed

hello list,

why in debian (I have 2.2r3) all the system users have 
a sh shell?
I have various other linuxes, a freebsd, and none has
this settings in /etc/passwd...; I want to know the
reason behind this, 'couse I've heard and it seems
resonable that it offers more security to have 
the shell bin false...
