Howdy y'all.  I have what (should be) a quick question.  I want to restrict a
certain users access to just reading news.  No more than that.  I use the nn
news reader.  I have tried defining his login shell to the nn binary,
but the problem comes with terminal emulations.  I need to be able to 
setenv TERM vt100 (or the equivalent) before he can use nn...then when
he quits nn, it should log him off...any suggestions?
