You may already have one.  Try your Bourne shell with the ``-r'' flag.
You might also try invoking it with the name ``rsh'' or ``resh''.  I tried
the ``-r'' flag under SunOS 4.1, and it worked, but only partially.  If
I remember correctly, it applied the restriction before /profile and
.profile were interpreted, instead of afterwards.
