The only mantra I keep hearing is that only someone with root access can do anything to a Linux system - but a while back, in this forum, there was a statement which stated that permissions can be altered even if they were within the user's home directory -- but this is where the discussion stopped because noone wanted to carry on with this topic any further.
Well maybe it had already become a long boring rant by then. However, this is what SELinux is all about, as best as I understand. With it you can even control the user's ability to install executables in their own directory which would be quite nice for things like corporate machines. I've been meaning to take another look at SELinux, the last time I looked it was a bit of a major hack to get all the Access control lists established. -- A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
