  Who all responded with information about the /etc/shells file which I
had misconfigured to contain the name of each shell without their complete
pathnames -- such as csh where /bin/csh was required. It really needs to
be there and have pathnames matching each users shell entry in
/etc/passwd. i.e. Examples should look something like this:

/bin/sh
/bin/csh
...
/bin/ksh
/bin/bash
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh
...
/usr/local/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/whateversh

Thanks again everyone
