Re: [cobalt-security] [RaQ3i] bash/badsh difference?

[Gavin Millard <gavinm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

when the user telnets into the box if they have /bin/bash as their shell
they will get a command prompt.  If they have /bin/badsh they cannot
telnet into the machine.  Most users should have /bin/badsh to stop them
messing the raq up.
