CVS commit: src/etc
Module Name: src
Committed By: nia
Date: Fri Oct 8 18:02:57 UTC 2021
Modified Files:
src/etc: master.passwd shells
Log Message:
Change the default shell of the "toor" user to /rescue/sh
toor is a backup account to be used in case of trouble.
When root's default shell was changed to from /bin/csh to /bin/sh,
toor lost its purpose.
/rescue/sh is an ideal choice here because it's a static binary,
while we've moved to dynamic linking for the rest of the system.
Discussed a few times over the years on tech-userlevel.
