These actually have a valid shell (the default shell, /bin/sh, is used when the password shell lists the empty string for the shell). Can gdm determine which users are locked? Does gdm read /etc/passwd directly (to find out the "local" accounts?) Or does gdm use getent()? (This lists all users in files, nis, nis+ and possibly LDAP) >> What about when NIS or LDAP is in use ?
