	Problem exists since at least FreeBSD 2.2.7 (see also the closed PR
bin/9495)

>Description:
If a user is given an illegal shell in /etc/login.conf (e.g. for a login
class called 'lockout'), su will happily su to that user. This should not be
allowed if a mortal user su's to another mortal user.
>How-To-Repeat:
   create loginclass with e.g. /usr/bin/false as shell, su to that user,
   yeah...
>Fix:

   The old quick and dirty patch to su.c was:
355a356,360
     > #ifdef LOGIN_CAP
     >               if (!chshell(login_getcapstr(lc, "shell", pwd->pw_shell, pwd->pw_shell)) && ruid)
     >                       errx(1, "permission denied (shell).");
     >               else
     > #endif
     366a372

   Haven't tested if it still applies cleanly, but the idea stands
