You're right, it's not an ideal solution, but based on my (quick) read of what 
he was looking for, the restricted shell sounded like what he's after.

It might not provide much protection against a sophisticated user, but it's 
useful for keeping casual or "single application" users from poking around or 
running programs they're not supposed to.
