Restricted Shell in Gaia

Gaia OS is usually managed using a restricted shell.

• Only the utilities needed to manage Check Point products are allowed.

  These utilities were wrapped with code to disable some of the options that are not necessary.

  The utilities are made simpler for customer use.

• No special characters are supported - only letters, numbers, space, and tab are supported. Piping between commands is disabled.

• "Expert" mode, which requires an additional password, provides access to the regular Linux shell (Bash).
