1. you can give a user the restricted sh (rsh) ... that restricts a lot
of things like you mentioned above.  Look at its man pages for more info
on it.  there might even be restricted versions of the other shells but
i don't know off hand.

2. write a shell script that just exits and set that script to be their
shell.  I think that should work ...
