How to Create and Populate the /etc/shells File

1. Download the script.
2. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

3. Generate a list of shells.

   # ./gen-etc-shells.sh > /tmp/shells

   This script uses the getent command to collect the names of shells that are included in the password file sources that are listed in the svc:/system/name-service/switch service.

4. Remove any shells from the list of shells in /tmp/shells that you are not including.
5. Move the file to /etc/shells.

   # mv /tmp/shells /etc/shells
