Hi all,
thanks for the discussion. the specific things I need to do are:
(1) run a separate gui application so that it is owned by a user other
than the currently logged in user, and yet still allows full
interaction with the currently logged in user
and
(2) have this running application entirely limited in the areas of the
filesystem it can write to...limited to only the areas allowed to it by
*its* user privileges....and of course have any requests it makes for
the various preference folders, app support folders etc mapped to the
folders correct for its user, not for the currently logged in user.
It looks as though using suid will do this, so thanks everyone :) its
surprising how much you can learn just by listening to knowledgable
people chatting...
Yours cheerfully,
Andrew Bush
