Bug#5212: xdm *still* allows login for /bin/true users
Hi, I've just verified that XDM still exhibits this bug, contrary to what Steve Durham said about PAM fixing it. I added /bin/true to /etc/shells, and changed a user's shell to /bin/true.

Re: lintian should warn about /usr/X11R6 usage being disallowed
Hi,
I think I'm going to make a Lintian check for all packages that use
/usr/X11R6 except those where $source{$binpkg} eq "xfree86"
(half-pseudo-code there).
AIUI, Overfiend only added the imake exception into policy so that less
packages need immediate fixing (policy-is-not-a-stick policy :), not because
they don't actually need fixing to get out of the X-version-specific
hierarchy and into the normal places.
Lintian should simply barf on these packages since fixing Imakefiles in
build systems that aren't monstrous like X's own isn't really all that hard.
Comments?

IMHO this bug is bogus. Raul's suggestion does not work, there is no
generic way to execute a command given an arbitrary shell.
What Steven Durham may have meant is that after switching to PAM, the
people who want to allow only FTP access can use something other than
/bin/true to do so, e.g., a simple list through pam_listfile.
