Subject: errors using 3.87 on NeXT 3.0

We're attempting to place a restricted shell on users whose accounts 
are going to be deleted, but we'd like them to still be able to use pine.
	Pine, unfortunately, won't send a letter, outputing an error:

	sh: /usr/lib/sendmail: restricted
	sh: /bin/rm: restricted

	Our restricted shell is replacing /bin/csh as a shell:
	/bin/lvl1rsh:

#!/bin/csh
clear
cat /usr/local/bin/lvl1messsage
/usr/bin/sleep 15
clear
/bin/csh
	
	I didn't think it was too complicated to just place a message 
(lvl1message) about impending account deletion and then drop users into a 
normal shell, but apparently pine does.

	Any ideas?

Hussain,

Pine does invoke external programs for several operations, including the
calls to sendmail and rm when sending mail.  The particular problem with
sending could be avoided by setting the smtp-server variable in a special
pine.conf file then alias pine to "pine -P restricted.pine.conf".  Printing
can also encounter a similar problem... 

I hope that helps!
