Re: [cobalt-security] strange file



Hello Theodore,

 /bin/bash   --> the "Bourne Again SHell" which is the linux standard
                 shell.  These users have telnet access enabled.

 /bin/badsh  --> "BAD SHell", which runs a quick script displaying an
                 UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS message, then boots them off the
                 server.  These users have telnet access disabled.
