o You do not need to go into a console for doing "sudo wvdial"
to get on the net as an user. You can fire it from an xterm
as well.

o FYI, there is a script called x-wvdial on the net (google for
it). It does the same thing as an user through sudo. The only
catch here is its dependency on the legacy xmessage program
from Xfree. Many modern distros do not come with this. AFAIK,
debian has it by default.
o Can send x-wvdial in personal mail if desired.

Sub : Restrictive shell (bash -r) LOST #352
Want to restrict some user to his own directory ? Keep the
default shell to "bash -r" or "rbash", It behaves identical to
bash except that cd to / or other dirs, changing environment
and few other features are disabled. View "man bash" for rest.
