Hi Brandon, If your concern is that the Unix commands will get in the way of the Vyatta commands when you are in the shell, you can try logging in as an "admin"-level non-root user (e.g., the default "vyatta" user). The auto-completion and help text for admin-level users are limited to the Vyatta command only, so you don't need to worry about accidentally tab-completing a Unix command. Of course, an admin-level user still has the flexibility to enter a Unix command directly on the command line and run it. On the other hand, if you log in as an "operator"-level user, you'll see that only the Vyatta commands are available, i.e., the user can only see and run Vyatta operational commands on the command line. Therefore, operator-level users don't need to worry about accidentally running Unix commands, either. Going forward, we plan to provide more flexibility. For example, it's probably useful to have another level that can run all Vyatta commands (like "admin") but cannot see/run Unix commands on the command line (like "operator"). Eventually, we will probably want to allow customizable levels such that, for example, you can set up a user level that can configure all routing protocols but not the VPN features.
