Did anybody try rbash on SLES8 SP3?, it's not working at all, if i put it as the default shell for the user it just works as a normal bash instance. If you call rbash once logged in it works as it should. This isn't happening with rksh on the same machine. CI.-
It's my understanding the rbash is just a symbolic link to bash.
To find out, ls -lah `which rbash`
My output is: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Dec 1 2004
/usr/bin/rbash -> ../../bin/bash

Sure - but this doesn't explain why it behaves wrongly if used as login shell. Please note that many programs [1] have a different behaviour when $0 (the program name or symlink name) differ.

And everything seems to be in order, after login, if i do an "echo $0" i get "-rbash", but it's not working as it should.... CI.-

To see whether the current shell is restricted, you should execute "shopt -p restricted_shell". The output should look like this: bash-2.05$ rbash rbash-2.05$ shopt -p restricted_shell shopt -s restricted_shell Rbash is basically a bash started by a special name ("rbash") or the -r parameter. On some systems rbash is a link to bash while others maintain a separate copy of the binary. One potential source of problems is that the shell restrictions are enabled *after* the startup files were processed. And even in restricted mode, any allowed shell script is executed without restrictions. Maybe one your your startfiles opens up another interactive shell? HTH, Michel

HTH, Michel Well, it's definetly unrestricted, after login:
user@linux:~> echo $0 -rbash user@linux:~> shopt | grep restr restricted_shell off It's a clean install with SP3, didn't add anything weird homemade script or anything like that . CI.-
