On one shared system I force untrusted users into a different rdomain(4)
via SSH config, the intent isn't to hide netstat output but it is a side
effect. Obviously things like cron escape the SSH rdomain configuration,
so you then have to consider those cases and handle them somehow too.

Don't expect it to work out of the box but I wouldn't say fundamentally
flawed. Many things are configurable.
