What is the bash2 shell and how is it different from the regular bash shell? I noticed it in my /bin.

try from the shell :
file ./bash2
bash2: symbolic link to bash

Oh so it's just a symbolic link to bash shell? Gotcha...

Use

$ ls -lai `which bash`

to find out. If there inode numbers are the same, they are the same file.

bash2's file permissions are lrwxrwxrwx
It's a symbolic link. I'm pretty sure the 'l' signifies link.

Yes, that means that it's a soft link.
