Easy sandbox method? - chroot, user, apparmor etc?

Postby Jago25_98 » Fri Nov 02, 2012 21:28

Ideally I would like to just run a command that does it all for me, passing the binary I want to run through that, like:

"sandbox firefox"

The other ways are hassle:

Easy on Windows... but unstable:

QEMU is an option but that I think is too heavyweight and overkill. Same for SELinux. Apparmor isn't available.

It's not just about practicalities of protecting Skype, Steam for Linux, Chromium apps and other closed source stuff that are surely going to become more commonplace over time. It's the beauty of getting something right. Like polishing underneeth the bonet of a car. I really find the idea of running everything as a single administrator user most unlinux-like and untidy - stinks of Winbloze, especially now Chrome & Android sandbox without much user intervention these days.
Everytime someone helps me I give $5 to Sabayon. Hopefully this will speed up equo bandwidth. If someone has helped you, why not say thanks and donate to speed it up for all :-)
