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 :)
