Doesn't seem like a real security issue to me because because admins can 
install extensions (i.e. PHP code) anyway and could also include scripts 
using .inc PHP resources included by TS.

So: Please remove the "restrictPaths" array for making it possible to 
display things like $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['sitename'].

cheers,
Ingmar
