[SunHELP] Running Unix applications from the Web

[Simon Phillips]

You could try a captive account, that is in the password file, instead of =
the user's shell (ie. /bin/sh) as the last field, use the path to the =
application ie. /home/fred/getrichquick.sh (or whatever).

	Change his shell to the application you are trying to run and as
soon as he finishes the application and exit from it he will lose his
shell access, plus he wont be able to ftp.
