Thread: Running Wine under a different user account


hello, all.

i've written article on site lays out steps installing wine , running under own, separate user account, windows applications cannot access personal files (particularly in home directory).
i'm hoping there people on forum know ubuntu inside-out, i'd know how effective described method @ trapping windows applications cannot read or write personal files or directories.

way understand it, once process running under user account wine, it's stuck access privileges of user wine. there ways in rogue application break out of prison , gain access whatever wishes?

i'm guessing such behaviour mean customising windows software recognise linux, , such thing unlikely, i'm still interested hear gurus of ubuntu internals think of method.

this seems interesting, , not useful running wine programs under account, untrusted linux program too.


however, think apparmor used simpler alternative; should possible use apparmor limit wine able access ~/.wine folder. don't know specifics though.
