I have a question about the firewall on Mac OSX. I am running 10.10.5 and I have two user accounts. I want to lock down one of the accounts behind a firewall that will only allow a couple of applications access to the internet. The problem is that no matter what I do those firewall options are "sticky" and when I switch back to the 'primary' account all of my apps are subjected to the firewall settings on the other user account. It doesn't matter is I set each account as an 'admin' or 'limited user'.

Is there way to generate user-specific firewall settings on the mac?

Thanks!
