Hi, In the last 3 jobs that I have worked at, there have been a mix of Linux machines and FreeBSD machines. When using an NIS or LDAP environment where there is a single login across multiple machines, it is useful to have a single shell setting. Since Linux and MacOS X have "/bin/bash" as the shell, in order to get the FreeBSD boxes to play in this environment, I have seen admins do the following on FreeBSD setups: ln -s /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash or ln /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash and then make sure that /etc/shells as: /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash Can we add an optional knob (turned off by default) which creates this symlink and updates /etc/shells? This would help with interoperability of FreeBSD hosts in environments mixed with Linux and MacOS X. -- CraigReceived on Fri Sep 12 2014 - 19:12:48 UTC
