Security and Lua chunks

[Maxime Petazzoni <maxime.petazzoni@...>]

Hi,

I was worrying about security when loading and executing lua chunks. 
What I mean is that if you build a script that loads and executes a 
user's piece of Lua code, this code will have the same rights than the 
"host" script.

Is there a way of loading a piece of code so that its variables are 
available (as if it was a sort of configuration file), but without 
executing the code ?

Thanks,
- Sam
