I think it will help you!


This won't help if the user :
        compiles their own shell
        runs an installed shell that isn't patched
        writes a mini shell in perl (chdir, stat, opendir, unlink, etc.)
        launches eshell from within Emacs, a shell written entirely in elisp


And this is just from thinking for a few seconds, there are several other ways to 
run a command without letting the patched shell see it.
