Not quite correct.  What I didn't read was "$ man shells".  For my
system I believe it should be:
        $ cat /etc/shells
        /bin/sh
        /bin/bash
        /sbin/nologin
        /bin/dash
and I have edited it to be so.  Much easier than reinstalling all my
shells, particularly since I'll need a shell to do it.

Thanks to all - jon
