Michael,

The problem with what you want to do is that for 750f users it is
fine. However, for the rest it won't matter what you do cause they can
always bust through any "internal firwall" for your filesystem you have
setup. I can "attain" root on ANY system I have access to. I may not get
it right away but eventualy I find a hole which allows me to slip in.

So you see it doesn't make much sence. If anything I'd work on beefing
up security and adding multiple system logs, if you are the insecure of
your users.
