Bad permissions SCO Unix

Hello everybody,

For my BBS, I want to register users with a RSH (restricted shell).

The users have to use the commands ls, more, cat, cd, rm and
some handwritten C-compiled programs.

When we had Xenix, everything was good. Now with Unix system V SCO,
I got messages like "permission denied" and "restricted"

Wat actions do I have to take in order to have a safe BBS but
not messages like "permission denied".

I have done the following:

1. Create a special group for Restricted Shell Users
2. Create a special filesystem as working directory for
   this users.

SCO Unix complains about bad permissions. SCO Xenix did not.

Andre.
