Actually, there are lot's of ways for Limited Capability Users to enter
commands... just don't use the command line.  DDM, Client access, FTP (prior to
V4R2) all allow limited capability users to enter commnds.   And any one of 
those
could allow a limited capability user to create a command and program that 
allows
a user to execute otherwise restricted commands.

The limited capability flag is usefull, but it barely protects anymore.
