just put them at the end and restart sshd. if your users should run only one application, use "normal" shell ksh for users, which doesn't have such options, and way better - use rksh (restricted version of ksh), set the PATH correctly in profile, make their .profile files owned by root and only readable by users.
Won't work.
The user owns the directory and can just delete or rename the root-owned .profile and then create their own.
I worked one place that tried that to prevent the use of a ".rhost" file. They created root-owned .rhost directories in everyone's home directory and IIRC set the setgid bit, making it impossible to delete.
Solution?
Then I created an .rhost file just to prove my point.
If the user owns their home directory, they own everything in it and under it.

So my workplace uses websense to block certain websites. I read while researching firesheep, that you can somehow bypass that by creating a proxy, and thus:
#1 protect yourself from people using firesheep (if using unsecure hot-spot)
and
#2 or visit un-approved websites at work.

The .profile file should be read when the user logs in. So, there should be no need to execute .profile file again in a cron job (since the cron job is run after the user logs in). Doesn't the cron require login from the user. Then, from where does the cron execute? Please help!! (1 Reply)

rcp
RCP(1) BSD General Commands Manual RCP(1)NAME
rcp -- remote file copy
SYNOPSIS
rcp [-46p] file1 file2
rcp [-46pr] file ... directory
DESCRIPTION
The rcp utility copies files between machines. Each file or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form
``ruser@rhost:path'', or a local file name (containing no ':' characters, or a '/' before any ':'s).
The following options are available:
-4 Use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Use IPv6 addresses only.
-p Cause rcp to attempt to preserve (duplicate) in its copies the modification times and modes of the source files, ignoring the
umask(2). By default, the mode and owner of file2 are preserved if it already existed; otherwise the mode of the source file modi-
fied by the umask(2) on the destination host is used.
-r If any of the source files are directories, rcp copies each subtree rooted at that name; in this case the destination must be a
directory.
If path is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to the login directory of the specified user ruser on rhost, or your current user
name if no other remote user name is specified. A path on a remote host may be quoted (using '', '"', or ''') so that the metacharacters
are interpreted remotely.
The rcp utility does not prompt for passwords; it performs remote execution via rsh(1), and requires the same authorization.
The rcp utility handles third party copies, where neither source nor target files are on the current machine.
SEE ALSO cp(1), ftp(1), rlogin(1), rsh(1), hosts.equiv(5)HISTORY
The rcp command appeared in 4.2BSD. The version of rcp described here has been reimplemented with Kerberos in 4.3BSD-Reno.
BUGS
Does not detect all cases where the target of a copy might be a file in cases where only a directory should be legal.
Is confused by any output generated by commands in a .login, .profile, or .cshrc file on the remote host.
The destination user and hostname may have to be specified as ``rhost.ruser'' when the destination machine is running the 4.2BSD version of
rcp.
