spot moved to new kennel
EasyOS, and all the pups, login as root, but with capability of
running apps as user "spot". I am planning to create a Chromium or
Chrome browser PET or SFS, and intend to run the browser with user spot.
Before doing that however, spot has to be relocated to a more
rational path. spot's home has been /root/spot, same as the early pups,
however, have now relocated to /clients/spot, see snapshot:
EasyOS is a single-user operating system, normal login as "root"
user, however, there are various users, "rover", "spot" and "zeus"
created for running apps with various constraints -- it is appropriate
to think of these as clients of the administrator. There is also
"crippled root" in containers, and in the "Reboot, lockdown in RAM" menu
option.
I have created a top-level folder named /clients, as /home is used for a different purpose. This is a deviation
from the standard filesystem hierarchy.
rover and zeus have been experiments. zeus was designed as a non-root
user inside containers. These are not yet well-developed, so ignore
them for now.
Note that there is planned to be a lot more happening under /clients,
a bit premature to say anything now. But suffice to say that the chosen
name "clients" will make more sense.
