Well, the 'cu' command is like many others in your unix -- if not to say most others -- a program of general purpose and intended for the use of several users. In your special case, you may restrict the use of 'cu' but this isn't valid for normal cases. Better is the restriction on the cisco itself. Most cisco's (if not all) can be password protected.
