> SSH RSA Authentication

   If a user who's shell is set to pine has been *'d out, even if he uses
RSA Auth to log in they will still be restricted to pine as well as any
other email-only user. Of course this problem is another entire issue.

Also from the man page, talking about ~/.login_conf:

" Only a subset of login capabilities may be overridden, typically those
which do not involve authentication, resource limits and accounting."

   I would hope that whoever implemented this system would understand that
a user-controlled directory is probably not an appropriate place to allow
shell changes.
