[SOLVED] New installation, reference to /bin/bash in add user-guide

I' am planning to make Arch my primary linux installation, installing it on the first HD, replacing Xubuntu.
Just to be sure, there is still a reference to /bin/bash in the add user guide:

# useradd -m -g users -s /bin/bash archie

Is it safe to presume this should be changed to:

# useradd -m -g users -s /usr/bin/bash archie

Thanks for any respons.

/bin/bash will continue to work...

I just made a clean install and learned the users path to shell should correspond to that of /etc/shells. Otherwise they won't be able to login on a tty. Somewhere there's a fault in the install scripts, I think. Might have occured in the recent "bin/sbin/usr" path changes.
