If password aging has been enabled for the account, the user may be prompted for a new password before proceeding. In such case old password must be provided and the new password entered before continuing. Please refer to *passwd*(1) for more information.
*LOGIN_SHELL_FALLBACK* (boolean)::
-If set to _yes_, login will provide a valid shell from `/etc/shells` when the shell specified in `/etc/passwd` is invalid or inaccessible due to administrative errors. This ensures users can still log in. However, it may bypass intended shell restrictions, potentially causing unexpected behavior if the fallback shell differs from the configured one.
