Humm. . . On my Mandrake 9.0 box, the rpm user's shell is set to /bin/false , 
so I would suspect that you can probably safely change it to that. If 
anything breaks, you can always change it back. If all goes well, you'll 
probably want to file a bug with RedHat at bugzilla.redhat.com .

Hope this helps,
Terry
