X-Nntp-Posting-Host: cisco-slip2.acc.virginia.edu Message-ID: <D97w4x.9FG@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU> Sender: usenet@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU Organization: University of Virginia Date: Sat, 27 May 1995 03:24:33 GMT Lines: 17 On several System V systems I've used, I have had an "rsh" shell which was a restricted shell. (It didn't allow the user to cd, and they could only run things in their path, plus a few other little features) Does an equivalent shell exist that I can compile for FreeBSD? If so, please tell me where I can find it. I've heard that there is a way to compile this functionality into one or more public-domain shells, but I have yet to find one that mentions that. Email responses are best, I don't follow this group closely.
