The LDAP client configuration part now contains help for users that can not

log in because of a missing shell.  When shells like bash are on different
paths (/bin/bash vs. /usr/local/bin/bash), entries need to be created in
/etc/shells and proper symlinks set to make this work.

<para>Users whose shell is not in
<filename>/etc/shells</filename> will not be able to log in.
This is particularly important when
<application>Bash</application> is set as the user shell on
the LDAP server. <application>Bash</application> is not
included with a default installation of &os;. When installed
from a package or port, it is located at
<filename>/usr/local/bin/bash</filename>. Verify that the
path to the shell on the server is set correctly:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>getent passwd <replaceable>username</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>There are two choices when the output shows
<literal>/bin/bash</literal> in the last column. The first is
to change the user's entry on the LDAP server to
<filename>/usr/local/bin/bash</filename>. The second option
is to create a symlink on the LDAP client computer so
<application>Bash</application> is found at the correct
location:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ln -s /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash</userinput></screen>
<para>Make sure that <filename>/etc/shells</filename> contains
entries for both <literal>/usr/local/bin/bash</literal> and
<literal>/bin/bash</literal>. The user will then be able to
log in to the system with <application>Bash</application> as
their shell.</para>
