Actually, rssh should *absolutely* *not* be added to /etc/shells.  This file
lists shells which should be considered valid login shells.  rssh is not, nor
is it intended to be, a valid login shell... it's a specialized shell intended
to provide extremely restricted access.

One consequence of adding rssh to /etc/shells is that if the machine in
question has an FTP server configured, then depending on which server and how
it is configured, any user whose shell is rssh might be granted access to the
FTP service unintentionally.  This would defeat the purpose of configuring the
user's shell to be rssh! Other installed programs may also check /etc/shells
for a similar purpose.

Please remove that functionality from the post and postun portions of the spec
file.
