Hi,
A TRUSTED language specifies that ordinary users can use the language.
It also implies that access to the file system should be prevented. In
essence, ordinary users can never access the filesystem.

Is it OK to design a trusted language so that it allows access to the
filesystem provided that the session user is a super-user?

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
