Linux Limited Access User Account

[agabriel at coe.neu.edu (Anthony J. Gabrielson)]

Hello,
	If you check out bash shell you can run it as bash -r which is
restricted.  Users are only allowed to use files that are in there home
directory.  You may have to put telnet in their home directory though.

Hope thats a help,
Anthony
