IMO this is not possible. You can not place restrictions on the IPC protocol, and I fail to see why you disallow IPC and force them to use TCPIP. Doing so, they still can do anything they want. Given the advantages of IPC over TCPIP, I would rather block them from using the TCPIP protocol when connected locally. Why don't just disable the telnet protocol?
