Need advice in setting up special accounts

Hello:

I am trying to set up a few accounts on my neXT, but I have been
experiencing some newbie like problems, which I hope some kind-souled
person will help me with.

1. I want to set up an account that runs only one program, then logs the
user out of the NeXT upon exiting the program.  I would like to make it
impossible to <control><z> the process.  I do not want to allow this user to
be able to suspend or stop the process, relegate it to the background,
etc.

2. I tried setting up a gopher-client only account for telnet users or
dial in users.  I set up my services thusly:

gclient         4200/tcp

I then set up my inetd.conf like this:

gclient stream  tcp     nowait  nobody  /usr/local/bin/gopher   gopher

When I try to telnet to this port this is what happens:

Connected to trans.csuohio.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
I don't understand your terminal type
Connection closed by foreign host.

Anyone know what is going on here?  Can you shed some light on this
matter?  I would like to provide a friendly user-environment without
running security risks everytime somebody logs on.

thanks for the advice ....  I appreciate it!

Joe
