Re: [cobalt-users] Shells /bin/badsh

[Derek Belrose <derek_belrose@xxxxxxxx>]

Badsh is a perl script that does nothing more than echo out a statement and
then exit 1.  It's done fairly often in the ISP world and other shell
services to block telnet access to certain users...script is posted below.

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "
************************* Access Denied *************************
*                                                               *
* Sorry, you do not have telnet/shell access to this Cobalt     *
* server.                                                       *
*                                                               *
*****************************************************************

";
exit 1;


At this point it's a cobalt product, but not native to cobalt.  I've done it
on various systems as far back as 1994.
