The only thing I'm aware of, you've already taken care of. To be honest,
I can't recall the exact details any more, but I had issues in the
(distant) past when I had switched to bash as my login shell but it was
not listed in /etc/shells.

As I recall it had something to do with remote access, but that was a
while back and I just don't recall the details any more.
