Wine Security - Improvement by second user account?
- by F. K.
Team,
I'm considering installing wine - but still hesitant for security reasons. As far as I found out, malicious code could reach ~/.wine and all my personal data with my user-priviledges - but not farther than that.
So - would it be any safer to create a second user account on my machine and install wine there? That way, the second user would only have reading rights to my files. Is there a way to install wine totally confined to that user - so that I can't execute .exe files from my original account?
Thanks in advance!
PS - I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit if that matters.
