I'm finally getting around to coding a feature into /usr/bin/login that I have need for at work and on my home system, and would like feedback from anyone else who might want to use/see a copy of it when I'm done. I'm going to alter login so that any person with a login group of 80 will be automagically chrooted. If there is an entry for them in /etc/chroots they will be chrooted to the specified area (allowing several people to be chrooted to a common sub-area) and if there isn't an entry for them, they will be chrooted to their home directories. The things I specifically would like feedback on are : 1. Should the login group be set to a different gid for some reason? If so, why and what would be a better group? 2. Should I build some sort of prepackaged utility to set up chrooted environments (creating directory hierarchies, copying binaries, libraries, device files, etc) and if so what would the -minimum- set be for basic functionality? 3. The format for /etc/chroots will be username:path-to-root does anyone have a problem with that? :) 4. Anything else anyone wants to comment on regarding this that is useful or at least interesting :) [ licia@o-o.org ] [ http://www.o-o.org/~licia/ ] [ Alias : Ladywolf] [ Telnet to o-o.org and log in as bbs ] [ ssh -l bbs -C o-o.org ] [ A happy user of FreeBSD : http://www.freebsd.org/ ] main(){int num[4]={1768122732,762265697,1919889007,103};printf("%s\n",num);} To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
