Package: libnss-ldapd
Severity: normal
RFC2307 (nis.schema) doesn't require a passwordAccount object to set
any loginShell. For such an account, PADL falls back to /bin/sh, but
this implementation falls back to "\n", which obviously is not useful.
I would like it to default to /bin/sh. If you're feeling especially
paranoid, I would at least like it to default to (say) /bin/false, so
that I don't have spurious blank lines in my getent output.

PS: yes, I know my password hashes are visible to anonymous users.
This is a scratch network and my olcAccess rules are temporarily too
permissive.
