padded cell n.
Where you put lusers so they can't
hurt anything. A program that limits a luser to a carefully
restricted subset of the capabilities of the host system (for
example, the rsh(1) utility on USG Unix). Note that
this is different from an iron
box because it is overt and not aimed at enforcing
security so much as protecting others (and the luser) from the
consequences of the luser's boundless naivete (see naive). Also `padded cell environment'.
