I had a similar problem with 3.95. I moved my .pinerc and let Pine
create a new one. It quit hanging, became fast again. Slowly I added
each feature that had been in my older rc file, and the hanging did
not return. I can only assume that the older rc file was corrupted. I
wish I had not set debug level to 0, or I would have had backup rc.

Hello,

I have recently found that I have need to restrict a user rather hard.
I do want to allow him telnet access .. but just access to pine ..
therefor I would like to put pine as this users shell .. easy .. bu what
if this user tries to open up a subshell?? .. if everything is okey .. he
will open up another version of pine .. but I want to disable the use of
subshells .. even if those are (almost) harmless ..

I would also want him to only be able to send mail to a certain user on
the system .. I could accomplish that by modify the sendit.sh but is there
another way todo it so that the user knows that he can't send mail to
other adresses than just this user .. 

But the rest of the features should be set as usual ..

Could anyone of you help me .. or should I go and UTSL ??

Thanks
/Emil
