This is used as a QA measure to try and +prevent applications from modifying files they should not. + +For example, in the Gentoo world we use it so we can build applications +as root and make sure that the build system does not do crazy things +outside of its build directory. Such as install files to the live root +file system or modify config files on the fly. + +For people who are familiar with the Debian "fakeroot" project or the +RPM based "InstallWatch", sandbox is in the same vein of projects. |
