User Space and
Security
Similar to the Verix OS, the M
x
800 series of terminals will support the concept of
directory ownership. On the M
x
800 series of terminals, the primary application will
reside in the subdirectory: /home/usr1. Secondary applications will reside in /
home/usr2, /home/usr3, …
File signing limitations will exist such that each user space subdirectory requires
separate authority. The system will support up to eight users. Each user is allowed
multiple executables.
NOTE
Each user may define additional subdirectories for their use. All subdirectories
are created as needed and may not exist on a terminal by default
NOTE
Users will only have privilege to create/write files under their base directory. For
example usr1 will only have privilege to write files under /home/usr1.
