I would also like to do the same for metasploit. I know that using Kali would be more practical but my PC isn't good enough to run it on VB.

  • You can enter the full path of it on one line in /etc/shells - avoid spaces, special characters, etc

Several ways:



  • sudo vi /etc/shells

  • printf "%sn" "/path/to/shell" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells

  • ed /etc/shells # aEnter/path/to/shellEnter.EnterwqEnter
