You have mail.
mdresser@x:~$
How can it be possible ? Doesn't the system normally check at the shell
field value in /etc/passwd to look for the shell to use ?
Is it using a default shell in the case where no shell value is specified
?
quite right.
You'll want to put something like /bin/false in your passwd file as the user's
shell.
To change the default for new accounts you can edit /etc/adduser.conf
