Note that your life may be significantly easier if you put all untrusted users in one group, trusted users in another group, and fiddle with group and world execute permissions on all the executables on your system. The executables anyone can run (e.g., pine) can be made world executable. The executables only trusted users can run can be made owned by their group, and group executable. This prevents the execution at the kernel level, rather than hoping that the executed programs don't have other ways of executing files. Given that, I think I have seen both 'wsh' and 'lush' in use as menu-based shells before.
