>Description:
The man page for adduser says that for adding users with the -f switch one must use the full path to the the desired login shell (see section FORMAT).  This is incorrect, rather one must, as adduser is currently impleimented, use only the shell name, e.g. "tcsh" or "bash".
>How-To-Repeat:
use adduser -f <filename> while the file referenced has something to the effect of user1::::::::/usr/local/bin/bash:      
>Fix:
update the manpage, or if the maintainer wants to make it more difficult rewrite the adduser script.
