	An alternative approach would involve using a compiled program
front-end which calls a read-only shell script. One such program is 
'setsh' found in Wood&Kochan's _UNIX_System_Security_. We made a few
tweaks to the program to support use of menu shells requiring interactive
input. [Note: We also used setsh to support running non-readable shell
scripts, but that requires use of setuid or setgid bits.]
