Bugzilla Bug 193541

Same issue like Bug 189412. Why does this need /bin/bash as shell?

games.eclass uses enewuser() which uses `adduser` which by default, disables
the account ... i dont know why you think you can login as games w/out a
password since it clearly does not work

a quick test over here shows correct behavior:
# grep games /etc/shadow
games:!:13780:0:99999:7:::
(where '!' obviously means the account is locked out)

it needs /bin/bash as a shell in order to run shell script daemons properly

Well, unfortunately this is what I had here: 

# grep games /etc/shadow
games::13230:0:99999:7:::

The install on this box might be from 1.4 times or so. Needless to add, the
games.eclass forcing /bin/bash totally doesn't help, and the only reference to
an ebuild that requires bash (that I could find in the eclass) is some games
server that should use s-s-d plus chuid instead.

easy enough to add a warning to shadow's pkg_postinst() that scans /etc/shadow
for users with blank passwords ...

Well, that sounds a lot better than the current situation. :)
