If you insist on doing it this way, you will need to exclude /bin/vi too (because you can gain a shell from it) as well as any other shells other than bash that you have installed

well ,  before i m doing this, i have another solutions , i write a security binary to replace /usr/bin/sudo ,

you are not able to execute sudo -s , sudo -i , sudo su , and even sudo /bin/bash.

would you guys wanna try ?

i just think it is not perfect enough.

As a contact Unix SysAdmin since 1990 I’ve seen many ‘security’ scenarios, and the root (:-)) of your problem isn’t sudo, but most likely the security policy. Usually when it’s a battle between security and getting things done it means that the security policy is badly thought out. What you need are people who know what they are doing who are totally trustworthy and very careful how they do things. Externally produced security policies are the worst. Your company pays them money, they give you a policy; but it’s then not their problem that things can’t get done. Where it appears to work there’s usually a hidden back door somewhere.
