Subject: [gentoo-dev] [Gentoo/FreeBSD] enewuser and /bin/false shells

Hi,

As Gentoo/FreeBSD is always improving, I'm thinking is just the case of 
telling everyone how to correctly use enewuser without bailing out 
Gentoo/FreeBSD :)

enewuser is often used with /bin/false as shell to create an user who can't 
login. Unfortunately this doesn't work on Gentoo/FreeBSD (and AFAIK also 
Gentoo/OSX has its own problem).

To avoid this, please pass -1 as option for shell to create a no-login 
account, which is then expanded to the right shell for the right system.

Thanks again,
--
