Hi.

        I want to create a Turn-Key account. That is, I want the user
to login, be put directly into an application, and when he exits the
application, to be logged out. The user needs to run the ksh
shell. What I've done so far, is to put the command to run the
application at the end of the .profile. I am wondering if this is
really secure. That is, is there a way for the user to break out of
the application and get to the shell ? Is there a way for the user to
skip the execution of the .profile command ? Perhaps I should source
the command that runs the application. Perhaps I should make a special
login shell for the purpose. If so, how do I do that ?


TIA.
