System:  4.11-RC1 FreeBSD 4.11-RC1 #0: Fri Dec 17 16:47:15 GMT 2004


>Description:


In a fresh install of 4.11-RC1  /etc/shells contains "/usr/local/bin/bash2" instead of the familar "/usr/local/bin/bash", consequently sysinstall and chsh do not see "/usr/local/bin/bash" as a valid shell.

This is different than the behavior in the past.


>How-To-Repeat:


Try to set a user's shell to bash with sysinstall or chsh.


>Fix:


Change "/usr/local/bin/bash2" to "/usr/local/bin/bash" or additionally add "/usr/local/bin/bash" to /etc/shells.
