Doesn't equate with the description of the other user having "lower" permissions, though. The description (lower permissions, bigger security) engenders the notion of different types of users, that Windows uses (ordinary lowly users, power users, admins, etc.). Running as some other user will still have the same ability to do bad stuff as yourself could do. So I wouldn't call it an increased "security" thing. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
