I don't presume that. I was pointing out the patently difficult option of protecting a single application or more within an account while allowing a casual user to use the account, and suggested several simple steps with reasons for using them.Jeff Vian wrote:
Guess the OP needs to learn a few basic security practices.
Why do you presume to know more about the OP's requirements than the OP does? This is typical of the arrogance of some in the Linux community. It really doesn't do anyone any good.
Locking screens, logging off, and using different accounts for simple security measures are simple habits and much easier than writing some sort of wrapper to do what he has asked for and in general will not easily provide any level of security for the application unless done by an expert..
He said he was aware of the built in security, then in the next sentence said it was too difficult to use that and wants ways he can do things that are much harder.
This thread has gone on for several days with almost everyone pointing out the difficulty of doing it the way he wants and pointing out some of the many things he would have to do to even come close to a reasonable security under his approach. My suggestions are much easier and more effective.
