Description Max Kessler 2004-04-10 21:36:04 UTC
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.

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2004-06-24 15:11:42 UTC
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.
