How restricted? Have you ever heard about rbash? Do a search on this site about it, it worked great for my needs.

Cool

If you don't have rbash in /bin try the following:

1. create a file in /bin called rbash with the following contents;
#!/bin/bash
/bin/bash --restricted

2. chmod the file to 755

3. add /bin/rbash to /etc/shells

4. change a users shell to /bin/rbash (usermod -s /bin/rbash user) and test it out.

This worked for me and there's no easy way out of the shell that I can see.

Hope that helped.

See http://online.securityfocus.com/infocus/1575 , down at "Breaking Out of Various Restrictions".
