>Description:

	The port for bash-2.01 do not add bash to /etc/shells. That
may cause serious problems since:

	1) bash-1.14.7 is not working under current anymore. (bash bug,
	it seems)
	2) uninstalling bash-1.14.7 and installing bash-2.01 will
	remove bash from /etc/shells.
	3) sendmail will scrap messages from anyone who has a filter
	in it's .forward and doesn't have a valid shell.

>How-To-Repeat:

	1) Uninstall any bash you have, making sure /etc/shells has no
bash.
	2) Install bash-2.01 from ports.
	3) Check out /etc/shells. :-)
	
Optional:
	4) Put a filter in your .forward.
	5) See your messages going astray. :-(
