I am not sure a restricted shell is the best sollution for interactive setups, 
but one is availale from src/contrib/sendmail/smrsh.  See README for usage 
and build information.  This, however, is more a thing for cvs-wrappers or 
stuff like that.

For interactive environments you can use the normal group/user permissions and 
of course jail(8)s.
