Salt Minion Invalid Shell Warning

[ke...@understoryweather.com]

I'm getting:

[WARNING ] Attempt to run a shell command with what may be an invalid shell! Check to ensure that the shell </bin/sh> is valid for this user.

I'm running the minion as root and as root I can explicitly run /bin/sh. It's symlinked to dash but $SHELL is bash. Not sure I understand that last part.

From Salt's perspective what must I do to verify the shell? How do I remove this warning?

Thanks.

that error means one thing. you are not using windows and /etc/shell doesn't exist or doesn't have /bin/sh listed in it.

Excellent. Thank you. /bin/sh wasn't listed in /etc/shells on Debian 8 Jessie ARMHF (Beaglebone Black).
