Re: How-to LUA script file access restrictions?

You can redefine (in Lua) the lua functions that take a filename argument to
check for validity of the path first.  In Lua 4 these would be:

dofile
openfile
readfrom
writeto
appendto
remove
rename

For lua 5.0:

loadfile
dofile
io.open
io.input
io.output
io.lines
