Are you sure? I went to /bin, made "ln -s bash mysql-bash" and changed
the login shell for the mysql account in /etc/passwd to /bin/mysql-bash,

No I am not sure. I thought the bug for this feature implied they were
going to use /etc/shells with /sbin/nologin black listed. But maybe they
did something else.

I want to try this out anyway, so I can report back what I find.

It looks like they aren't checking /etc/shells. I couldn't find the code
they use to build the list. They do appear to be black listing /sbin/nologin.
There are a few accounts that don't have /sbin/nologin as a shell, but
don't show up in the list. I am not sure how those are being filtered.
