Need help with Bash scripting using nano editor

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } As you can already tell I am a newbie. I took a Microsoft VB2008 a few month back. Now I'm taking Linux + and this course requires me to write scripts. The script executes but, I can't figure out or have not found anything that I can make out on the internet that can answer my questions.


1 I need to make this two statements: if [ "$user_ID" = jcs ] && [ "$password" = 123456 ]
2 If they enter anything other than y they should get message Goodbye
3 Any comments would be appreciated.
4 I would like to add a counter

Code:
 #!/bin/bash
 # Date: 09/25/2011
 # Purpose: Authenticate  
 # Creator: JCS
 # Lasted Changed: 09/25/2011
 clear
 echo -n -e "\n\n\nPlease enter you ID:     "
 read user_ID
 clear
 echo -n -e "\n\n\nPlease enter your password     "
 read password
 clear
 *****if [ "$user_ID" = jcs ] && [ "$password" = 123456 ]; then     
 echo -e "\n\n\nYou have been authenticated."
 else
 echo -n -e "\n\n\nThere is a problem with your authentication. Would you like to try again, enter y for yes."
 read answer
 fi
 while [ "$answer" = y ];
 do
 echo -e "\n\n\nPlease enter you ID:     "
 read user_ID
 clear
 echo -e "Please enter your password     "
 read password
 clear
 if [ "$user_ID" = jcs ] && [ "$password" = 123456 ]; then
    echo -e "You have been authenticated."
 else
 ***echo -e "There is a problem with your authentication. Would you like to try again. Enter y for yes"
 read entry
 fi
 done

NAME
rnano - Restricted mode for Nano's ANOther editor, an enhanced free Pico clone SYNOPSIS
rnano [OPTIONS] [[+LINE,COLUMN] FILE]... DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the rnano command. nano is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. Rather than just copying Pico's look and feel, nano also implements some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, such as "search and replace" and "go to line and column number". rnano is a restricted version of nano, which only edits specific files and doesn't allow the user access to the filesystem or a command shell. In restricted mode, nano will not: o read or write to any file not specified on the command line; o read any nanorc files; o allow suspending; o allow a file to be appended to, prepended to, or saved under a different name; o use backup files or spell checking. OPTIONS
+LINE,COLUMN Places cursor at line number LINE and column number COLUMN (at least one of which must be specified) on startup, instead of the default of line 1, column 1. -? Same as -h (--help). -h (--help) Show a summary of command line options and exit. -V (--version) Show the current version number and exit. See the nano(1) manpage for the complete documentation of nano. BUGS
