they have only read-only access to directories other then their own and
'/tmp' and such.

Dave, don't do that.....

if you don't even give them read acces to /etc/, things will start working
lousily. for example, the shell startup files (/etc/profile r
/etc/csh.cshrc) won't be accessible to them. /etc/passwd won't be
accessible and this will break many programs for them....
