I don't see why all the fuss about shells and such.  I've found that entries
in the form of:

  jeff:z2JxA8LgiPZrQ:371:208:Jeffrey E. F. Friedl:/i/cs/jeff:/usr/games/rogue

in /etc/passwd is just about right for most people........

Nah! People don't play rogue anymore, they play hack or nethack.

The proper shell (for old MIT hackers) is /usr/bin/adb.  A slight
modification is to replace the message "symbol not found" with:

    You are talking to "adb" the top level command interpreter/debugger
    of the "UNIX" time sharing system.  Commands start with exclamation
    point and are usually terminated by a carriage return.
