We have an IBM RS/6000 320H using AIX. We installed pine yesterday. We 
love it and want to make it avaiable to all our users. However, we do not 
want them to have access to the setup/config option from the main menu. 
We are looking for a way to keep our regualr users out of this option, 
but yet leave it open for us system administrators. I might add that we 
are rather new to AIX, at the upper Novice level. Any help that we could 
get to solve this challenge would be appreciated.

I don't know if you can prevent users from getting into the Setup .... 
however .... you can place entries in pine.conf.fixed which will prevent 
those entries from being overridden by individual users.

I guess you could make *every* entry a pine.conf.fixed entry!  So even if 
the user _did_ get into the setup ... he couldn't change anything!

There is a disable-config-cmd feature-list entry that will turn off the
config screen.  If you put it in /usr/local/lib/pine.conf, it can be
over-ridden by a .pinerc entry of no-disable-config-cmd.  If you put it in
/usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed, no-one will get the config screen...
