I think the only reason that adduser asks for what shell is for convenience to select your favorite shell. Some prefer bash on csh others want to setup users for email that is why you have nologin option..etc it is just a matter of preference. I think you can also "customize" the adduser script to ask specific questions, but I don't know how? Majid Almassari, MSEE, MCP. System Administrator. iBroadcast, Inc.
