Restricted shell

Hello,

For some reasons a job started from OS/390 is making a telnet-connection and
starting a script on one of our R6K's. The output of the script is saved in
a file. The file is with ftp send to OS/390. All in one job on OS/390. The
user who set up the telnet-connection is saving the passwd as plain text in
the job. Not very secure, so I'm thinking of giving that user a restricted
shell, or change the passwd file so the user is not getting a shell, but can
only execute the script, or...

Now, I'm wondering how other users set this up, is using a restricted shell
a good solution, or someone has a good tip.

Thanx,

Brian.
