[gentoo-user] I would like to understand FEATURES=sandbox

2003-06-25 Thread Robert Young
Is there a link that explains sandboxing in gentoo?


If not, can someone tell me know if I am correctly understanding the
usrpriv and the sandbox feature?


I have created a standard user testing: that is also a member of the
(portage,adm,and sys) groups.

If I have
FEATURES=usrpriv sandbox 

in /etc/make.conf

does this mean that if I type

su testing -

emerge planeshift

that planeshift will be installed only for user testing. No other user
will be able to access the install?


If this is true
can I then type

su -

emerge planeshift

and I will have one local install for testing and one for everyone else
(possibly the same version)


If this is not what will happen can this be accomplished with portage?

Thanks in advance

I don't know, sorry.

Sandbox fixes up permissions, users, and groups for you.  It's a good thing.

No.
