Re: [Nautilus-list] Idea for Nautilus and GMC.



However, you could rig up an LD_PRELOAD shared library to handle 
some useful system calls (open, unlink, etc.) and even go so far 
as to ask for confirmation before doing anything "suspicious" 
(opening files outside current directory, opening network port
to i.0wn.j00.net, etc.)  It would still be a pain, but would
provide a potentially useful "sandbox" area in which to run an
application, without compromising the integrity of the system
as a whole.

Now, for apps executed in such a way via Nautilus or GMC, perhaps it
would be a good idea to have a sort of chrooted environment for those
files to run in

Setting up a chroot environment requires root and can be very time
consuming. The actually chroot() system call also requires root.

Unfortunately, this makes the idea impractical,
