Security and VMWare Fusion
Unfortunately not everyone has access to an Apple machine running OSX, so for an iPhone-Development curious friend I decided to create an account and let him play with things over VNC. Being at least slightly concerned about the security, I tested out what his account had access to before turning it over, and was dismayed to find that he could reach all the partitions in /Volumes/ with no problem, including private files in my Windows User folder.
I solved that quickly and easily by changing permissions on /Volumes/ to 770, verified that it blocked his access, and left it alone.
When I started using VMWare Fusion instead of booting directly to Vista, I found that running a virtual machine from any volume except System failed, and it occurred to me that the /Volumes/ permissions must be the problem. After switching them back to 777, VMWare works great but I'm left in a quandary as I'd like to be able to virtualize and share this workstation at the same time.
Any suggestions for this?
