> Can anyone recommend a good restricted or menu based shell? I believe bash2 when run with bash2 -r gives you a restricted shell. All you need to do is go the user entry in the password file and replace the default shell with /bin/bash2 -r.
Once that is done set his path to some directory, say /restricted Place all the programs you want to allow that user access to in that directory. Hope that does the trick for you. Regards Dhar
