#2 Re: Using pam-mount to create a sandboxed home directory Posted by JamesBarrett (69.249.xx.xx) on Tue 25 Mar 2008 at 18:40 Thanks. One good thing about using this method on a machine with writable media is that all changes are completely unrecoverable. Since nothing is saved to disk there exists practically no forensic methods available to recover files that have simply lost their inodes just as long as the tmpfs is not actually in a swap area. This method supports X. Just set everything up exactly the way you want it before enabling pam_mount. Then, log out of your user, enable pam_mount and log back in as your user. I don't use a login manager in Debiosk, and have not tested it with XDM, but it ought to work as long as /etc/pam.d/xdm is configured correctly. I do know that issuing a 'startx' from the console works as planned. -- James Barrett
