>Description:
I have a server using nss_ldap/pam_ldap (all users are stored on an ldap directory) but I notice that  few users where available to change their shell using the command chsh -s /bin/sh. 

In theory chsh like the passwd command should not operate on ldap and just work for local users.

in fact the passwd command output this:
passwd: Sorry, `passwd' can only change passwords for local or NIS users.

when creating an account via web (www.sign.io - info stored on ldap not localy and in a remote server) and after login for the first time to the server via ssh, the user can execute the command chsh -s /bin/sh and chsh will add the user to the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd (this should not happen) but seems like chsh is ignoring nsswitch.conf:

group: files ldap
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: files ldap
shells: files
services: files
protocols: files
rpc: files

if the user change his password (not using the passwd command) using an alternate script like this  one:

---
#!/bin/sh

stty -echo
read -p "Old Password: " oldp; echo
read -p "New Password: " np1; echo
read -p "Retype New Password: " np2; echo
stty echo

if [ "$np1" != "$np2" ]; then
  echo "Passwords do not match."
  exit 1
fi

ldappasswd -h 172.16.13.1 -D uid="$USER",ou=people,dc=sign,dc=io\
  -w "$oldp" \
  -a "$oldp" \
  -s "$np1"
# http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/ldap-auth/article.html
---

The user can still login the the shell but if he want to change his shell again, he has to use his previous password since a new record on /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd has been created.

also the this new record does not respect the login.conf, since the entry looks like this:

test4:$1$YAvOssdO$JjZcAPX/4QppDIPlS2P4s.:4658:4658::0:0:test:/home/users/t/e/s/test4:/bin/sh

where in theory they should have a hash beginning with $2 (since blf) is specified on the login.conf

the current login.conf is like this:

default:\
  :passwd_format=blf:\
  :minpasswordlen=6:\
  :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
  :welcome=/etc/welcome:\
  :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\

>How-To-Repeat:
create an account via ldap not locally (live example on www.sign.io) 

login the the shell server that uses pam_ldap/nss_ldap (no local users on /etc/master.passwd)  and execute the chsh -s /bin/sh.

chsh will ask for a password the one will be stored or used for creating a new entry on /etc/passwd (later update will update /etc/mater.passwd) (this should not happened)


>Fix:
unknown, maybe temporally disabling chsh
