SHELL env variable not red

[Olivier <ldap@guillard.nom.fr>]

Hello,

I have configured nss/pam on a REDHAT6 box to authenticate users
against an ldap : it works but I have a problem with getting my favorite
user shell when I log in.

The "loginShell" shell attribute sounds to not been used to provide users
with their favorite shell when they log in : may be I misunderstood the
usage of this "posixAccount" attribute ?

Thanks for your help, see below for additional indications :

$ ssh olivier@redhatbox.example.fr
olivier@redhatbox.example.fr's password:  < MY LDAP PASSWORD>
