On several System V systems I've used, I have had an "rsh" shell which was
a restricted shell.  (It didn't allow the user to cd, and they could only
run things in their path, plus a few other little features)

Does an equivalent shell exist that I can compile for FreeBSD?  If so,
please tell me where I can find it.  I've heard that there is a way to
compile this functionality into one or more public-domain shells, but I
have yet to find one that mentions that.  

Email responses are best, I don't follow this group closely.

Thanks for any help,
Paco
