On many systems (including 4.3BSD and later), the valid values for shell
names used with "chsh" are whatever the file "/etc/shells" says, or
"/bin/sh" and "/bin/csh" if that file doesn't exist. I hope nobody
hardcoded those three into their system, except as a default if
"/etc/shells" doesn't exist....
