Hi all,

I'll certainly look into a way of restricting this.. But this has only
happened once in the past year since we started hosting shell accounts,
and to be honest I don't really want to restrict the users that can be
trusted with a shell account.

Maybe a scheme where all new users are monitored every so often to see
if any illegal material is present.

Lee.
