In the install proceedure, the installer is asked to add
"$CS_ROOT/bin/shell" to /etc/shells.

Do we depend on this to happen?  The reason I ask is that RedHat appears to install
that file with permissions 666, so any user can go and delete, modify or add as they see 
fit.

Do we care much if this happens?
