Is there a way to edit a .profile file that would let a user have bash as their login shell?
We tried adding:
exec /bin/bash --login
to the .profile, but this produced an endless loop and we could not login using that account.
Thanks!

a welcome message.
nodate
Don't display the date of the last login.
noterm
Don't display the terminal name on which the last login was attempted.
nohost
Don't indicate from which host the last login was attempted.
nowtmp
Don't update the wtmp entry.
noupdate
Don't update any file.

Display number of failed login attempts and the date of the last failed attempt from btmp. The date is not displayed when nodate is
