    The s\bsh\bhe\bel\bll\bls\bs file contains a list of the shells on the system.  For each
    shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path,
    relative to root.

    A hash mark (``#'') indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent
    characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
    which search the file.  Blank lines are also ignored.
