preventing users from escaping to shell (!sh)

[Zam_1]

How I can prevent users not to access shell when they are in Menus.

Thanks

Change the Shell to

/usr/bin/false

for the user.

Hi,

what menu?

In the .profile for the user enter
trap "exit" 1 2 3 15

Hi


Since you can escape in may ways put in /etc/profile


export SHELL=not_allowed

Perhaps you want users not to do a control C and get to the prompt while they are on menu. (some script that gives this)

You need to put in user's .profile file the following.

trap "" 1 2 3

This will ignore signals 1 2 3 (HUP, INT and QUIT)

Hi,


In the .profile user's file:

trap "" 1 2 3
your menu call...
exit
