Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2000 23:08:11 -0700 From: Theodore Jones <theoj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hey All, I was looking in my /etc/passwd file and noticed that some users have a : /bin/bash shell path, and others have a : /bin/badsh shell path. I am wondering what the difference is here? Can anyone explain?
bash is a shell. Users that have that in your /etc/passwd file are authorized to connect via telnet. badsh is short for "bad shell". Those are users without permission to connect via telnet.
