MGA6-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues.
Exercised pwd, cd, fle, ls, mkdir, rmdir, su commands with autocompletion where possible, seems OK.
Out of precaution waiting for OK from other testers with more/other ideas.

ran a dumb script I wrote quickly.  hello_ls.bsh

$ rbash hello_ls.bsh

It went through commands and did them, including what should have happened properly, this worked in old version too:
hello_ls.bsh: line 9: cd: restricted
set -o allowed functions to be set up, did this in both versions

Allowed me to reach into folders up the base (both versions)

From what I can tell it is working.  (I'll attach teh script)

Created attachment 10984 [details]
hello_ls.bsh

You've got to chmod the file u+x before executing it.

echos "Hello World"

ls -la on current folder

ls ./Music

tries a couple of commands

then execute mplayer against a file in my music folder, you'll need to rename that it you want to hear/see something.

Installed and tested without issues.

System: Mageia 6, x86_64, Intel CPU.

Tested normal (unrestricted) bash usage without issues.
Tested restricted bash usage (all those mentioned in the man page) and all resulted in a "restricted" message and the command not being executed, so no issues as well.

Using cli approach with argument passing, for x86_64.

Modified some local scripts to be called:
#!/bin/bash
# syncpad
# Make copy of a named directory
rsync -r /data/$1 /data/clone/
#count lines in a file by running a bash one-liner 
lines ~/.bashrc
# Clean up filenames in . using a ruby script to remove spaces and unwanted characters.
shrink
#end bash script
------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# lines
cat $1 | wc -l
------------------------------------------

Updated bash.

$ touch file "This(is a) File&name with[Junk]Characters"

$ syncpad pad
46

$ ll This*
-rw-r--r-- 1 lcl lcl 0 May  8 16:58 ThisisaFilenamewithJunkCharacters
$ cat .bashrc | wc -l
46
$ ls /data/clone
pad/

Used Brian's approach, which worked equally well.
$ rm ThisisaFilenamewithJunkCharacters
rm: remove regular empty file 'ThisisaFilenamewithJunkCharacters'? 
$ rbash syncpad astro
46
$ ls /data/clone
astro/  pad/

Good enough.
Leaving Herman or Brian to set the 32-bit OK.
Thanks PC LX for testing the restrictions.

Umm.  Not sure what is going on here:

$ rbash
$ syncpad bin
46
$ ls /data/clone
astro/  bin/  pad/
$ echo $0
rbash

Expected the ls command to fail on the /'s.
