        The account needs to have a shell of /etc/rc.initial.

        EDIT:  Ignore that, read jimp's reply below.

        I can break anything.

          It won't help because they won't have the privileges to actually use the menu.

          If you install the sudo package and allow them to run /etc/rc.initial without a password, you could then add "sudo /etc/rc.initial" to their .tcshrc or .profile and it may have the intended effect.
