...which pretty much blows out the "restricted shell" idea. I vaguely recall when I first used it on real UNIX, it DID let you cd BELOW your home directory, but the current incarnation in bash doesn't let you cd at ALL.
You can MAKE subdirectories, but you can't access them. Weird. You also lose the ability to redirect output via ">", "<", and pipe. Even more curious, the manual says you can't specify file paths containing an initial /, but I WAS able to cat /etc/passwd from a restricted shell. I guess they really mean PROGRAM paths.
