If you run !bash and you have console access you can get to a bash prompt using remote auth.
You can also hack this a bit and add an entry to /etc/passwd for remote users to have them logged in with a bash shell by default. This isn't supported but should work.
my_remote_user:x:0:0:my_remote_user:/home/my_remote_user:/bin/bash
There's an open request for enhancement to support bash as a terminal option for remotely authenticated users:
Bug 358740 - RFE Allow bash as a shell option for remote users
You can open a case with F5 Support to request this RFE be built.
