However, said model still has connotations of a specific actual user, which is
no longer entirely accurate in such applications of that model. It'd be nice to
have a sort of "subuser" system where - within, say, the user for my own desktop
account - I could further divide the software I run into "users" for things like
Firefox or Spotify or what have me.
I think you might be able to use groups for this.
- yellowapple 10y agoSort of. Groups seem to be better suited for roles - e.g. to provide resources to sandboxes rather than act as sandboxes themselves.
- falcolas 10y agoIn a fashion, you can also do this with sudo -u sudo -u ff_user firefox This way Firefox is run as a separate user within the current user's session, with all that entails. Of course, that would be a serious pita for your average user to setup.
- fao_ 10y agoI guess you could script a lot of it to happen automagically for a subset of applications.
