NAME

shells- shell database

SYNOPSIS

/etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid (see getusershell(3C)). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

A hash mark (``#'') indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
