prompt for user shell
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:40 EST
Description of problem: Firstboot prompts for new user accounts, but doesn't prompt for shells. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora Core after installation. Actual results: Firstboot prompts for new user accounts to be created, but doesn't prompt for users' shells. Expected results: There should be a listbox containing all shells listed in /etc/shells for specifying what shell to use for each account. Generally, all options for useradd should be available. Additional info:
We want to avoid showing options in firstboot that many users will find confusing. The vast majority of computer users don't know what a shell is. And most existing Linux users that know what a shell is use bash. system-config-users is a more complete user management tool and it allows a shell to be chosen with a list box.
