Networking + wine (like as running uTorrent in ubuntu) can be very dangerous. I feel there should be some sandboxing(as in Windows) to prevent frequent attacks. I would be very interested in implementing sandboxing for running Wine applications. Thank you Prateek

What sandboxing are you referring to in Windows?
Regarding sandboxing Wine itself, see the FAQ entry: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-f566a12c806a1eacaeefb7cb6419a513a773c571
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-f566a12c806a1eacaeefb7cb6419a513a773c571 as mentioned wine does not provide sandboxing at all but there can be some wine users would like to prevent Windows apps from accessing unix system so there is need for a simple sandboxing interface.
Thank you prateek

Like the FAQ says use SELinux or AppArmor for that. There is no way that Wine can prevent that as the Windows apps can just call into a Linux lib or even perform a direct system call. Or just remove the Z: drive in winecfg as a poor men "sandboxing".
