It's not a bad idea, but I think it would be easy to make any number
of requests like this.  Someone will think it's a good idea to add lpr
to the list... and so on.  I really don't want to get into the role of
writing a configurable restricted shell...  

OTOH, I have made some updates to the shell, including a cheesy,
home-grown configure/make build environment, and several bugs.  I
still don't have any docs though.  ;-)

Feel free to have a look.  http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/

I've always thought this was really cool.  Never got around to setting
it up though.
