Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/sh toor:*:0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/home/jason:/usr/local/bin/bash Note that I have set the home directory for toor to be the same as my home directory. This is very convenient as it lets me keep a common environment through .bashrc for 'jason' and 'toor'. I don't use .bashrc of .bash_profile to do anything adminstrative. Still, I am wonder what unforeseen pitfalls might exist. Is this setup insecure? Is it a bad idea in general?
