When you write:
"It is recommended that the root's default shell remain unchanged, though."
Maybe it would be nice to have a reference to the handbook.
Which I have perused, but couldn't find anything relevant. There is actually no
such recommendation in the HB :-(
The one I found was this:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/security.html#TOOR-ACCOUNT
pertaining to the "toor" account, which gives a nice explanation.
(slightly OT: we might want to add such an explanation in the HB ?)
I find the article pretty clear anyway :-)
Maybe we should also mention the fact that there is no longer a "/proc" on
procfs: FreeBSD uses "sysctl" instead ? (I know some GNU/Linux users who use
/proc in their shells to grab info on the system, they might like to know they
have to proceed differently).
What do you (all) think ?
cheers,
gregory
