It's not restrictive enough for a potentially malicious user (which is
the case here, because the original poster knew the password could be
sniffed).  If you're going to give a shell at all in such cases, you
need to use jail(8) or at least chroot(8).  In this case, the original
poster specifically said he wanted to give the account no password at
all (which is, of course, even more restrictive), so these are
overkill for this situation.

Restricted shells really aren't for security uses.  They are too easy
to break out of (if you let them run any useful programs, anyway).
