Prevent users from running games? Why do we want to do that? What's wrong with the current approach to doing this...namely..don't install any games, and then the users won't be running them.



I am thinking of the situation where you might want to users in a certain role allowed to play games and others not, on a shared
machine. A more interesting example would be to disallow sysadm from running games, mozilla ...


Basically a user accidently runs mozilla or a game while newroled to sysadm. Might be nice to have that error out.
Ordinarily a transition happens but still It would be nice to prevent this.
