Can we make a deal? I will answer your question with (what I think
is) exactly what you are looking for. Your end of the deal is to
please take "howto" questions to the newbie or expert mailing lists.
They are [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
respectively.
This question you are asking has got *nothing* to do with Cooker.
Cooker is about testing and feedback for the ongoing work towards the
next release. It is not meant to find out how to use Mandrake Linux
but rather to report problems and make suggestions that will make
upcoming releases more robust.

You are looking for the "restricted shell" or restricted mode of bash.
"man bash" will tell you everything about it. Look in the section
"RESTRICTED SHELL" in the bash manpage.

Thank you for your co-operation in keeping the noise on the Cooker
list down.
