A blank entry in the shell field indicates the system default shell should
be used - on Solaris & OpenSolaris, that's "/bin/sh", which is a valid
shell. If you're skipping those because they're blank do you also skip
non-system accounts using that shorthand?
(How do you determine which shells are valid? getusershell(3c) ?)
