Is there a way to restrict what they can use? Traditionally only shells in /etc/shells
were valid.
There is no way currently.
Note that part of the problem is which /etc/shells to use? Remember that
IPA is centralized and users may be using a number of different
operating systems. This is why the default shell is /bin/sh, because it
is nearly universal.
It probably isn't a ton of work to add a new config option to provide a
set of valid shells so feel free to file an RFE I just don't know that
this sort of thing would be prioritized.
We could probably help if you want to contribute something.
