I'll second that recommendation and further add that if one of your goals is "to be sure that some users do only what they are supposed to", then you should set up permissions on your server appropriately: either set the "other" permissions on all your files (data & executables) appropriately, or put your users in the appropriate groups and set the gid and permissions of all your files appropriately. Preventing your users from performing unauthorized actions is much easier than constantly monitoring them. My $.02, Terry import StandardDisclaimer;
