[Pkg-shadow-devel] useradd, no loginshell set in /etc/passwd

[Serge E. Hallyn]

That's expected:
       -s, --shell SHELL
           The name of the user's login shell. The default is to leave this field blank,
           which causes the system to select the default login shell specified by the SHELL
           variable in /etc/default/useradd, or an empty string by default.
