Enabling /bin/bash on Catalina - invisible to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Full Disk Access

Question

I am having trouble enabling /bin/bash on Catalina - Macos 10.15.1

When I try to enable it using "System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Full Disk Access", the pop-up finder list doesn't show /bin/bash.

As you can see from this screenshot:

The permissions on bash seem OK:

ls -l /bin/bash -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 623344 Oct 24 02:34 /bin/bash

Answer 1

I followed Peter Brooks' suggestion and it worked for me:

1. system Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Full Disk Access
2. Click the lock in the lower left corner to allow changes
3. Separately, Open a finder window
4. Select Go -> Go to Folder... from the menu bar
5. Type /bin and click Go.
6. Drag /bin/bash to the Full Disk Access (right hand side)

Done.

When I Just clicked the + in the Full Disk Access thing, i could not find /bin/bash . It somehow wasn't visible. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Answer 2

The screenshot shows the content of /usr/bin, not of /bin :-)
