preventing a user to start a process

[Gustavo A. Baratto]

Use php safe_mode. This will prevent the execution of external commands from 
php. Depending on you what you mean by "usable", this may be a problem.

Or make sure php doesnt allow uploads to /tmp or /var/tmp (disable FTP in 
PHP). This will prevent the ircs or any other scripts to be uploaded in the 
first place.
