Description:

        Trying to set up a user who logs into a restricted shell.  Set
        shell field in /etc/passwd to /usr/rbin/rbash, add filename to
        /etc/shells, copy bash to /usr/rbin/rbash.

        User logs in over ssh, but is not in a restricted shell.

        This is because in a login shell, the shell is "-rbash", with
        a leading minus.


Fix:
        In shell.c, base_pathname is called to get the name of the
        shell. The name should then be checked for the presence of a
        leading "-", before comparing against "rbash".
