"Invalid Shell" is not really a good name. Invalid is a shell that does not exist in /etc/shells and can be executed in the system, but is unknown to Tiger (i.e. not csh, ash...). The "noshell" definition is a list of shells that look like they are invalid (might or might not exist in /etc/shells) but are usually used as shells for blocked (system) accounts in some operating systems.

Since this varies per operating system, and is used by different security checks, it should be a configuration item

We probably need to standarise the "invalid shell" defintion so that it can be configured per system and it can be used by both check_anonftp and check_accounts.
