no, but this was a good take..

for some reason there was /usr/bin/bash as shell entry in /etc/passwd. Changing
this to /bin/bash solved the issue.

reading this I changed /etc/shells accordingly i.e. added
/usr/bin/bash and /usr/bin/sh to the existing /bin/.. entries which also made the
/usr/bin/bash entry in /etc/passwd working.

will this be updated by update mechanism or only be fixed in new installations?

Thanks a lot for Your help.
