It turns out that procmail won't copy mail to a file unless the user's default shell is listed in /etc/shells. However, /usr/sbin/nologn (which is what many of us use for mail-only users) is not in /etc/shells by default, even though it is offered as a shell by adduser. If adduser offers it as a shell, it should be listed in /etc/shells; otherwise, this kind of error will nail admins. If it is decided not add /usr/sbin/nologin to /etc/shells, I propose that if someone tells adduser that that is a user's shell, adduser should have a warning that tells the admin that the shell they are adding is not in /etc/shells. >How-To-Repeat: Look at the default /etc/shells >Fix: Add /usr/sbin/nologin to /etc/shells. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
