Create a Safe daemon against malicious scrips

[dentaku65]

Due to this serious report

that show the possibility to compromise the system; I suggest to create a sort of safe daemon that check the system against a list of malicious commands (es. sudo rm -fR / or sudo rm -fR $HOME) and their script variables (ruby, perl, etc..).
This is a very dangerous situation because from the report I can install a screensaver from gnome-look.org and compromise my system; as soon as the variety of "external" software repository will grow (es. gnome-look, kde-look, android market and, perhaps, Ubuntu software center) as well as the linux/ubuntu users, the risk to be attacked will be very high.

To limit the possibility of malaware and/or malicious commands on the system I suggest to create a Safe daemon.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

- Though this needs to be addressed , Writing a new daemon is not a papercut task.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

This isn't really feasible, and any attempt would be easy to bypass by malicious scripts.
