Didn't I say that we can't use root on BigIPs? What you are suggesting is for us to create a script that would ssh to all of those loadbalancers and change the default shell to bash for the admin account, and that leaves us with exactly the same problem - because the default shell is not bash and we would have to switch to bash after ssh-ing first to be able to use tools like sed to edit /etc/passwd file.

 

If there's some other way to quickly switch default ssh shell on BigIPs I would like to know it.
