I am aware of Sun's /usr/lib/rsh restricted shell which limits what a
user can do.  

I am also aware of osh (the operator shell) which limits root
permissions for a customised list of commands based on user's group. 
(So one can give operators etc. access to particular commands as root).

Does anyone know of any other alternatives that could provide a "sort
of" chrooted telnet type of environment ?
