pardon but imho sudo is used to restrict access to root utilities without giving away root privileges too easily. the original question was restricting most commands that are available for normal users. or can sudo be used the other way around?


ciao!

sudo would be your friend.

Can I restrict my users with shell accounts to access only specific
commands?
example : user 1 can only access cp, rm, mv while
               user 2 can access cp, rm, mv, pico and wget
and all other command are disabled.
Any ideas on .bashrc?? or .bash_profile? or ?
