First simple trustee handling is added in 0.99.pl9.
some notes/restrictions:
NOT ALL functions will work correct with trustees rights.
Trustee handling still needs to be hard tested to avoid
SECURITY holes.
- trustee handling must be activated by setting the volumes 't' flag.
- if activated for the SYS directory then the following default
trustees should be set.
GROUP EVERYBODY: C in SYS:MAIL
FR in SYS:PUBLIC
SUPERVISOR: SRWCEMFA in SYS:
the standard user rights in mail diretories are not so important,
because user has unix rights in this diretory.
every USER: RWCEMF in SYS:MAIL/userid
A non root supervisor and user with supervisor equivalences
get default full trustee rights in root directory. These rights
could be altered in subdirectories to less rights.
A root supervisor always has full rights.
- if SYS volume is marked as trusttee volume then some
checking routines will reduce g+o unix accesses in
SYS:MAIL subdirectories.
- symlink directories must get direct trustees, inheritated_mask
is set to 0 to prevent user making symlinks to directories
they do not have real access.
- when stepping through directories,
inheritated_mask will be set to 0 if st_dev changes.
- only root assigned user may give trustee rights to
file/dir which st_dev differs from VOLUMES st_dev.
- only additional rights are given by trustees, existing
unix user rights are not reduced.
therefore trustee volumes should get low unix rights.
for example: 0711 for directories and 0600 for files.
- for many routines the user still needs the 'x' directory right.
- the trusttee search is limitated to user and first level groups.
'group in group' and 'normal' security equivalences are not supported.
Supervisor equivalences are supported.
- an user can only be member of 32 groups.
- some changes of trustees only have effect after new login.
- must never be switched on volumes which do not have fix inodes,
because trustees are represented by device and inode number of the
file or directory.
- standard trustee directory is /var/nwserv/trustees
( see nwserv.conf section 47 )
- representation under this directory is:
- for user trustees:
volumename/device/ino0/ino1/ino2/t.ino3/id -> trustee
ino0 .. ino3 = byte 0 .. 3 of inode
id = user id as hex number.
- for inherit right masks ( we use 'userid' 0 )
volumename/device/ino0/ino1/ino2/t.ino3/0 -> inherit_right_mask
- and for scanning trustees:
volumename/device/ino0/ino1/ino2/n.ino3 -> path
path is relativ to volumes root path.
- and for 'trustees are changed' notifications:
volumename/ts -> sernum (hex value)
all values are represented by symbolic links, not files similar
to the attribute handling.
