Limiting application to.wine directory

Post by Xwang »

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to limit the application to see only inside the .wine directory.
Actually I've set wine with only the drive_c which is inside the .wine directory, but opening a windows application, I can open files outside .wine directory by using the "go to upper" level bottom. Can I avoid this so that the windows application see only the drives I configure?
Thank you,
Xwang

PS Sorry for my poor English

You'll have to do that in your distribution. Wine has access to
whatever files your user does, so either run it as a different user,
or use SELinux/AppArmor, etc. to limit it.
