This is why I thougt it was something different. What function does
/bin/badsh server.
Does it simply execute the perl script mentioned above ?

badsh:     ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically
linked
 (uses shared libs), not stripped

adding exit 1 to the users .profile would prevent login access. Thanks for
tip.
