Description

The RequireValidShell directive configures the server, virtual host or anonymous login to allow or deny logins which do not have a shell binary listed in /etc/shells. By default, proftpd disallows logins if the user's default shell is not listed in /etc/shells. If /etc/shells cannot be found, all default shells are assumed to be valid.
