Linux doesn't have file extensions as you understand them(or text versus binary files either -- they're all just bytes as far as the OS is concerned.) The ".txt"
is part of the filename proper, it won't fill in any sort of extension for you. And what the name is doesn't matter one bit -- you could make it ".exe", ".sh", ".omgwtfbbq", or leave off the extension entirely and Linux won't care. As long as the file's set executable it will try to run it. When it does so, it checks if the beginning of the file is the magic "#!" that means a script, or an ELF header for compiled programs.
So, "ss1.txt", the
whole thing, is the file name.

NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
/bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh,
/usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).
