Subject: ssh and a missing shell (is there a fallback shell?)

I was recompiling some things in pkgsrc and my shell, tcsh, was missing.
Trying to use ssh gave me an odd prompt, just:
Password:

What I expected was to see:
Enter passphrase for key ...

Or even:
htodd@machine's password:

I had the default pam configuration.

None of my passwords worked (or did work, but were refused because I had
no shell, I don't know.)

I figured out what was wrong after trying to log in at the console and
getting an error message there.

Is this the proper behavior?
