I think this is not secure in any case. I don't really understand why your users don't like telnet/ssh. A telnet bash session has completion, history and all goodies a Web-based one won't have. Typing commands in a Web page and a telnet session -- what makes the difference? Moreover, it's slow. manpages doesn't display well, for example.

If they really want it Web-based, consider a Java telnet/ssh client like http://javassh.org/

If they only need to carry out some predefined tasks, I think you may give them a Web interface with some menu options which execute the commands for them. But to have a command line directly attached to the Web is a very dangerous idea I can think of even if the user community is trusted.

telnetrc(4)							   File Formats 						       telnetrc(4)

NAME
telnetrc - file for telnet default options DESCRIPTION
The .telnetrc file contains commands that are executed when a connection is established on a per-host basis. Each line in the file con- tains a host name, one or more spaces or tabs, and a telnet(1) command. The host name, DEFAULT, matches all hosts. Lines beginning with the pound sign (#) are interpreted as comments and therefore ignored. telnet(1) commands are case-insensitive to the contents of the .telnetrc file. The .telnetrc file is retrieved from each user's HOME directory. EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample file. In the following example, a .telnetrc file executes the telnet(1) command, toggle: weirdhost toggle crmod # Always export $PRINTER DEFAULT environ export PRINTER The lines in this file indicate that the toggle argument crmod, whose default value is "off" (or FALSE), should be enabled when connecting to the system weirdhost. In addition, the value of the environment variable PRINTER should be exported to all systems. In this case, the DEFAULT keyword is used in place of the host name. FILES
$HOME/.telnetrc SEE ALSO
