Details

Description:
/etc/default/useradd currently contains:
SHELL=/bin/bash

Now that  FS#33677  is fixed (and it only took a decade), the default shell can be changed to /usr/bin/bash to avoid relying on the /lib -> usr/lib symlink.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any
shadow 4.14.0-3


Steps to reproduce:
# useradd -m testuser
# getent passwd testuser
This task depends upon

Good point! Will try to get to that as soon as we have it out of testing.
