I agree, in a way, but what is the point of root access on an OS X workstation? The "good stuff" -- bank accounts, personal data, etc. -- is inside that user account, even if it's not an admin user. And you can backdoor the user account to a point that the average user will never find it, making getting root less of a useful achievement.
- kalleboo 10y agoYeah, at this point I'd like a warning on first launch of an app that's not sandboxed (sandboxed apps can only access files that have been selected through a system "open" dialog). Although of course once Apple do that it'll launch cries of slippery slope across the community and it won't really help casual users who don't understand the security model...
