While /usr/lib/rsh restricts your access while at a shell prompt and when running "cd" interactively and within "shell" scripts it doesn't enforce that on applications like "lynx". All applications and in fact shell scripts found in system directories in the users PATH will still be able to access directories and files outside the users home directory.
