[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#481727: fetchmail: Should create its user account with /bin/false as its shell

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.8-11
Severity: minor

The tiger security package reports a warning about the fetchmail user account:

  # Performing check of passwd files...
  NEW: --WARN-- [pass014w] Login (fetchmail) is disabled, but has a valid shell.

Setting the shell to "/bin/false" should at user creation time should fix this.
