Is there a way we can pre-pend a "magic" $PATH entry that can't be removed that has all the tools (iptables, ifconfig, etc) that just print out messages about those things don't work here and use $foo instead?

    The problem is that there are many networking oriented programs which
    do use the interfaces which are not supported.  Blocking access to
    command-line utilities does not prevent software from attempting to
    use the facilities at an API level.
