        In VMS system it is possible to create captive accounts. With this
account users can only execute the commands
        in the login.com file.They can not do anything else with the
directory or files in the account. How I can do this
        in UNIX? I have put many control sequences in .cshrc file. If the
users do a telnet or rlogin it works well.
        But when they execute 'su username' they can login without reading
the .cshrc file. So they have then access
        to all the files in the directory which I donot want. Iam not using
C2 security.Iam using NIS.I just wanted to force
        the users to execute .cshrc or .login file.

       Whether any one is using captive accounts in UNIX and how?

      Thanks in advance,
        Kumar
