It can't be independent of the user's environment because sshd uses the 
user's shell (as retrieved by getpwnam) to execute commands.  What we 
maybe could do is a simple test to see if the shell is in fact clean, 
something like:

if [[ `$SHELL -c true 2>&1` != "" ]]; then
   echo fix yer shell
   exit 1
fi

The trick with that is finding out the user's shell in a portable 
fashion.  Maybe even get configure to run a little program that just 
does getpwuid(getuid()).

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
