I don't think spots list is too useful, unfortunately; discussing an abstract 'unprivileged user' without defining some roles and use cases doesn't make much sense to me. There is probably a difference between a guest account and a regular (non-admin) user in what I want them to be able to do; 'unprivileged user' does not allow that distinction. And there is certainly a difference between what a regular user is expected to be allowed on a family computer vs a university computer lab. -- Fedora-security-list mailing list Fedora-security-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-security-list
