About:
Plash is a sandbox for running GNU/Linux programs with minimum privileges.
It is suitable for running both command line and GUI programs. It can
dynamically grant Gtk-based GUI applications access rights to individual
files that you want to open or edit. This happens transparently through
the Open/Save file chooser dialog box, by replacing GtkFileChooserDialog.
Plash virtualizes the file namespace and provides per-process/per-sandbox
namespaces. It can grant processes read-only or read-write access to
specific files and directories, mapped at any point in the filesystem
namespace. It does not require modifications to the Linux kernel.
Changes:
The replacement GtkFileChooserDialog class has been rewritten, which allows
the powerbox file chooser to work with a lot more GTK applications
(including Firefox, Gnumeric, and Inkscape). The documentation has been
reorganised, and examples, screenshots, etc. have been added. The build
process has been revised, and an autoconf script added. Test cases have
been added. A bug in exec-object has been added. This release is available
from an SVN repository.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
