Somehow most of the people you talk to about restricted shells, will
revive memories of their univ days. At our univ, we had restricted
shells that were very poorly made and breaking out of these was usually
the norm. :))

In our case pine was enabled and using vim as an alternative editor you
could bang out to /bin/bash in a jiffy... :))
