You're right; that's exactly what I want to do. I want to make it so the working pool sage* users can't use the network in any way. They are users in the chroot jail, so the question is -- how can I make it so a given user can't use the internet on a unix machine, assuming said user doesn't hack the machine and become a different user? And yes, I know, if only I would release a "SageLite" that was the sage notebook without the hard-to-build Sage math library, then all kinds of unix gurus would just solve all these problems for me (since then the notebook would be popular and independently interesting beyond Sage). I really want to do that.
