Both conditions will be breached if more than one person logs in as the same user and both try to run the Wine app. If this is even a remote possibility, you need to make sure the login user has scripts, etc. that make sure that only one person can use the Wine app at a time. Wine is essentially a shim that accepts system calls from the Windows app its running and issues equivalent system calls to Linux before reversing the process and returning results to the app in a form it can understand. IOW it can't and won't allow several people to safely run a single copy of a Windows App unless a single copy of app can be used by many people at once under Windows. Martin
