Yes, that goes pretty much with out saying... I think that is better to
use the chattr +i option rather than the 0700 mode as the user might be
able to delete this file otherwise. 

I have had enterprising users get vim or other binaries from other
machines onto the machine where they were given a restricted shell and
they used it exit the restricted shell. 

A restricted shell is a tricky thing.. An experienced user get out of it
inspite of all your precautions. So be warned... :)
