Not true, you have to create an /etc/shells file.
But this is a little off topic.
--------------example - /etc/shells --------
/bin/ksh
/bin/csh
/bin/bash
...etc...

Solaris is paranoid. It will only read the profile files for 'su -
user' if the shell for the user is '/usr/bin/sh'. Nothing else is
allowed, or the profile file is not read.
At least this is true for Solaris 8, not sure about others.
