Product profile has worked to stop this and others since version 6.   It is
very easy to create the table and add a row to disable certain types of
commands.  Don't you just love nosey users  :)

I wish I could train them like monkeys, but no, it's an account for tech.
support 
and they're ssh'ing into the production box, and I want to limit their
access and give 
them no way to get to a command prompt, if I can avoid it.  Would you
believe that 
they were originally setup to get into the box as the owner of the oracle
software..SCARY!

Are they telnetting in to your server and then running SQLPlus at the 
command prompt or are they running SQLPlus from their client and connecting 
via SQLNet? 

If the first, then "host" will not give them anything that they won't get 
from the telnet session. 

If the second, they they'll most likely end up at the ORACLE_HOME\bin 
prompt of their workstation. 

Are your users really just trained monkeys in disguise and you don't want 
them to try to recreate the works of Shakespear via random keystrokes? 
What's the real issue here?

How can I prevent users from typing "host" to get to an OS prompt while 
logged 
into a DB account with an OS account?  They can host to a prompt now, but 
they 
can't do anything useful from there, since $ORACLE_HOME is the only thing 
in their 
PATH...just wondered if there is an easy way to prevent the use of the host 
command 
all together. 

TIA!
