Hi! I'm deploying R behind a web-app on a linux-server and I don't want to grant the users shell access through the system() function for security reasons.

Is there any safe way to deny a user access to the function?

I tried
a) alter the function in the R-Sources before compiling them. Doesn't seem to work because system() is apparently needed during the build. b) Redefine system() in the global Rprofile. Leads to of course to some warning messages at any session start and feels generally kludgy and unsafe.

Best Regards
M.W.
