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.
