Hi the list,

Bit of an odd one, have asked before but its now a real issue.

I have all working fine and dandy AD and 6/7 Samba boxes getting user
auth/details from the AD

Normally you would specify the user shell in /etc/passwd, but to get AD
authing working, getent passwd username returns /bin/false

I really need to be able to change this info. I cant see anywhere to change
this nor anywhere in docs/online/google/tea leaves either :/

Any help gratefully received.

Ross
