Ahhh... technically they have given you shell access, they just modified a file on the server that runs as soon as you login (on bash, it's .bash_login or something like that), which spawns pine to open. As for how they kick you off again when you quit, I'm not sure. > I would really like to have my shell access back. Isn't there a way > under unix they can restrict me to my home directory? (Is this OT?) Yes, they can... it's a pain trying to do it for telnet/ssh as most shell's no longer support the /:/ in the passwd file.
