<title>Available shells

<sect>Introduction
<p>
	Each user account is associated with a login shell. A shell is
	a command line interpreter or simply the first command executed
	when the user logs in. These commands or shells must be defined
	here first to become selectable in the user account dialogs.

<sect>The dialog
<p>
	You must define the default shell. This will be used to set up
	the dialog for new accounts. The rest of the dialog is simply
	an enumeration of the available shells, in no specific order.

<sect1>The Add button
<p>
	The Add button grows the dialog by one line, allowing you to add
	more shells if needed.

<sect1>Adding shells
<p>
	When you add a new shell in the dialog, make sure the
	shell already exists and is executable.

<sect>Available PPP/SLIP shells
<p>
	Usually, scripts are available to trigger the proper networking
	commands. One script is supplied with Linuxconf:
	<tt>/usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/ppplogin</tt>. You may want to define
	others with different PPP or SLIP parameters.
