OK but won't they inherit the environment of the parent shell anyway?
How do we prevent that?

And if the user somehow changed the .cshrc file at a later date?
We're then back to where we started.

not if you lock the fink home dir or make /tmp that gets wiped all the
time. It doesn't need a valid home since it's not a real user...
