Wouldn't an application-specific user account (mostly) solve that problem without having to resort to a more complicated access control model?

- danieldk 10y agoThen you have to fiddle when you want the application to read/write a file in your home directory. So, then either the application has blanket access again or the user has to manager per-file groups or ACLs.
- oneeyedpigeon 10y agoSo a text editor gets the user's permissions, a game that writes a local save file has its own permissions ... what's an example app that wouldn't be able to work this way?
