I think that the Mac OS X security model needs to be turned upside down. It need to deny by default, and to be much more fine grained. All apps should be sandboxed, and only allowed to perform the operations that they were intended for, in the places they're allowed access to. You should be able to inspect an application and see what type of privileges it's been granted.
An installer should have to ask the user for permissions to install in /Applications (or /Library, or whatever) specifically, not be given this blanket permissions to run rampage through my system.

Now that's an extremely good idea. I wonder how far it would be possible to implement (at least some of) it inside the curent Mac OS X without breaking too much? Hmm......


Now, come on Mmalc. This has gone on far enough - we deserve a slap for being OT!

Agreed, too. This is my last post in the thread, and I do apologize. --- Ondra Čada OCSoftware: email@hidden http://www.ocs.cz private email@hidden http://www.ocs.cz/oc
