Locking down the system

[Matthew Hannigan]

Dan,

No.  Sudo only enhances access.  It does not restrict it.

You need to use restricted shells or some other technique.

Of course, using restricted shells with sudo is a very useful
combination to give the access that you want to give and
no more and no less.

Regards,
