Typically rbash is used with a nonstandard PATH setting to give users access to a restricted set of commands. However, I notice that the bash(1) manpage does not mention anything about that. If you can come up with a way to hint at it without making the manpage much longer (maybe by tweaking the sentence that starts "A restricted shell is used to set up an environment"), I imagine that would be helpful. Thanks and hope that helps, Jonathan
