Hello bug-bash,
I've just come across a strange problem. It's connected with restricted mode of bash program. When I invoke bash like this: /bin/bash -r it runs correctly into restricted mode: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ /bin/bash -r bash: SHELL: readonly variable bash: PATH: readonly variable [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ cd bash: cd: restricted [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ It works fine when I run it as rbash too [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# ln -s /bin/bash /bin/rbash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ /bin/rbash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ cd rbash: cd: restricted The problem is, when I try to set /bin/rbash as shell for any system user. You see, when this user logs in, he's not restricted by any means and he can do everything as if he run a standard bash shell. I think, the problem is connected with a bad argv[0] comparison. It is, when rbash is called directly from bash level, the argv[0] equals "rbash", and when rbash is called at login, argv[0] is equal to "-rbash". So i thought maybe there was something like this: if ( strcmp(argv[0],"rbash") != 0 ) enter_restricted_mode(); there, in the source code. That would explain why bash doesnt enter restricted mode while run at the begining of a terminal session, i.e "rbash" != "-rbash". I've noticed this behavior on Slackware 9, and 11 systems. Bash version: GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i486-slackware-linux-gnu) I'm looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Dawid Gołuński (sk0lman) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
