root access and dselect | ftp

[kotsya@u.washington.edu (David Stern)]

Hi,

It occurred to me that running dselect | ftp as root could potentially 
compromise root access.

I don't want users to be able to run dselect, and I don't want to loose 
the power of dselect by downloading all packages and package lists 
individually, but I want to decrease the potential of root access being 
compromised while running dselect | ftp.

What's an intelligent solution?
