I'm working on a privacy & security solution of mine for starting all major desktop applications (webbrowser(s), vlc, mailclient, a private shell via unshare, etc.) under different user accounts (all my own accts) at the same time and all sharing the one desktop (using classic LXDE from the Debian 8 repo). It's a kind of privilege seperation. This is done via standard *.desktop files and a small cmdline program named "runas" I wrote recently in C++. In that pgm the user gets switched (hence runas) and the app is started under the given user credentials. It works good, but the solution is IMHO not for Average Joe, because it opens a (control-) terminal per application plus the application itself (by this, one also sees the control outputs the app writes), and one has to enter the account-password before starting the application (ie. many accounts and passwords to enter, remember, and to manage...). The accounts are secured, ie. others have no access (chmod o= acct). It's like putting the applications into containers, but IMO this method is much easier than real containers. If the prj gets finished soon I'll make it available for other interessted users. The said poblem arose when I wanted to start more than one instance of such a program solution. Then the second terminal simply quits before waiting for its child. But the lxterminal author has now posted a fix against this behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Lxde-list mailing list Lxde-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxde-list
