How to sandbox wine?
by slac from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57Q5G)
I want to use wine in Slackware but I do not want wine to read files at home user, that is why I want to sandbox wine or something like that.
I think I found a method to do something like that. That method is to use a separate user account and then use xhost to run wine as that user. The thing is that, I think that xorg with root privileges needs to be used for this method and I do not know how to know if Slackware uses root privileges for Xorg or a Xorg rootless, how can I determine that? I think it is rootless because windows managers are executed by "startx" but I am not sure.
However, that is just one idea that I found, if anybody knows another kind of method just say it.
