Like the 'Love your enemies..' comment. :)
So what I mean is that when I look at the user in
System ->Administration->Users and Groups, I see that both dave and
amandabackup have /bin/bas as the login shell, in other words configured to
use bash.
Anything more complicated regarding configuration is beyond my current
knowledge, so your clarification is welcomed.
