It doesn't say anywhere about the user having to have a shell listed in
/etc/shells. Can I just add shells to /etc/shells?
This is what the man page says:
/etc/passwd is used via libc (and PAM is this case), to get the uid
and
home directory of normal users, the uid and home directory of "ftp"
for
normal anonymous ftp, and just the uid of "ftp" for virtual ftp
hosts.
Nothing about the shell though.

Does the FTP daemon require them to have a valid shell (listed in
/etc/shells?) and /bin/false isn't?
