Hello,

I'm looking to have an entire user xsession (and every application/process that can be launched by a user) run under a firejail environment. I essentially want to sandbox a user from the rest of the system as soon as they login to either lightdm or ssh. Is this possible, and if so how do I go about setting this up?

Thank you,
Aaron

This would be very cool! I'll try it out.

But wouldn't that sandbox necessarily have to be somewhat lax? And if so, how useful is it really?

For something like Kodi I would find it very useful.

Hmm, I see. So more for a special-purpose X session.

What happens if you change the session files to launch firejail lightdm or similar? I have no idea how these programs work anymore (I launch my X session with startx...), but I think the files are either in /etc or /usr/share.
