In many cases the tables are largely the same, hence define a common set
of macros to generate the common parts.
This adds in a couple of missing specifiers here and there, so is more
thant just refactoring: it actually fixes accidental omissions.
Note that some entries that look like they could be unified under these
macros can't really be unified, since they are slightly different. For
example in the DNSSD service logic we want to use the DNSSD hostname for
%H rather than the unmodified kernel one.
*** Running /home/zbyszek/src/systemd-work/test/test-sysusers/test-14.input (with login.defs symlinked)
login.defs specifies UID allocation range 401–555 that is different than the built-in defaults (201–998)
login.defs specifies GID allocation range 405–666 that is different than the built-in defaults (201–990)
Also, even if login.defs are not present, don't start allocating at 1, but at
SYSTEM_UID_MIN.
Fixes#9769.
The test is adjusted. Actually, it was busted before, because sysusers would
never use SYSTEM_GID_MIN, so if SYSTEM_GID_MIN was different than
SYSTEM_UID_MIN, the tests would fail. On all "normal" systems the two are
equal, so we didn't notice. Since sysusers now always uses the minimum of the
two, we only need to substitute one value.
This basically implements fc58c0c7bf for gshadow.
gpasswd may not have a lock/unlock that behaves the same as passwd, but
according to gshadow(5) the logic of the password field is the same.
As described in #15603, it is a fairly common setup to use a fqdn as the
configured hostname. But it is often convenient to use just the actual
hostname, i.e. until the first dot. This adds support in tmpfiles, sysusers,
and unit files for %l which expands to that.
Fixes#15603.
Let's use "!*" instead of "!!" as invalid password string.
Generally, any invalid password string can be used to for locking an
account, according to shadow(5). To temporarily lock a password of an
account it is commonly implemented to prefix the original password with
a single "!", so that it can later on be unlocked again by removing the
"!", restoring the original password. Thus, the "!" marker is an
indicator for a locked password; the act of prefixing "!" to a
password string is the locking operation; and the removal of a "!"
prefix is the unlock operation. (This is also suggested in shadow(5)).
If we want to entirely lock an account we previously used "!!" as
password string. This is nice since it indicates the password is locked.
However, it is less than ideal, since applying the password unlock
operation once will change the string to "!", which is still a locked
password. Unlocking the password a second time will result in "", i.e.
the empty password, which will in many cases allow logging in without
password. And that's a problem. Hopefully, tools do not allow such
duplicate unlocking, but it's still not a nice property.
By changing our password string to "!*" we get different behaviour: the
password will appear locked. When it is unlocked the password is "*"
which is an invalid password. In that case the password is hence
unlocked but invalid, which is a much better state to be in than the
above.
This is paranoia hardening. Not more. There's no report that anyone
every unlocked an account twice and people could log in.
This reworks the user validation infrastructure. There are now two
modes. In regular mode we are strict and test against a strict set of
valid chars. And in "relaxed" mode we just filter out some really
obvious, dangerous stuff. i.e. strict is whitelisting what is OK, but
"relaxed" is blacklisting what is really not OK.
The idea is that we use strict mode whenver we allocate a new user
(i.e. in sysusers.d or homed), while "relaxed" mode is when we process
users registered elsewhere, (i.e. userdb, logind, …)
The requirements on user name validity vary wildly. SSSD thinks its fine
to embedd "@" for example, while the suggested NAME_REGEX field on
Debian does not even allow uppercase chars…
This effectively liberaralizes a lot what we expect from usernames.
The code that warns about questionnable user names is now optional and
only used at places such as unit file parsing, so that it doesn't show
up on every userdb query, but only when processing configuration files
that know better.
Fixes: #15149#15090
We're operating on known paths in root-owned directories here, so the detour
through toctou-safe methods that require /proc to be mounted is not necessary.
Should fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1807768.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1807768. It turns
out that sysusers cannot query if the group exists:
Failed to check if group dnsmasq already exists: No such process
...
Failed to check if group systemd-timesync already exists: No such process
When the same command is executed later, the issue does not occur. Not sure why
the behaviour in the initial transaction is different. But let's accept all
errors that the man pages list. We check if the user/group exists before creating
anyway, so this seems pretty safe.
This extends the "uid:gid" syntax for "u" lines so that a group
name can be given instead of a GID. This requires that the group
is either queued for creation by sysusers, or it is already defined
on the system.
Closes#14340
This reverts the gist of commit 636e72bce6.
The comment and the tiny cleanup are left alone.
We shouldn't lock the accounts because people actually need to use them, and
if they are locked, various tools will refuse.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/13277#issuecomment-529964578
and follow-up comments.
Previously, we'd only set the shell to /usr/bin/nologin and lock the
password for system users. Let's go one step further and also lock the
whole account.
This is a paranoid safety precaution, since neither disabling the shell
like this nor disabling the password is sufficient to lock an account,
since remote shell tools generally allow passing different shells, and
logins into ftp or similar protocols don't know the shell concept anyway.
Moreover, in times of ssh authentication by password is just one
option of authentication among many.
Takes inspiration from the recommendations in usermod(8)'s -L switch:
"Note: if you wish to lock the account (not only access with a
password), you should also set the EXPIRE_DATE to 1."
Some distros install nologin as /usr/sbin/nologin, others as
/sbin/nologin.
Since we can't really on merged-usr everywhere (where the path wouldn't
matter), make the path build time configurable via -Dnologin-path=.
Closes#13028
Whenever I see EXTRACT_QUOTES, I'm always confused whether it means to
leave the quotes in or to take them out. Let's say "unquote", like we
say "cunescape".
Let's be helpful to static analyzers which care about whether we
knowingly ignore return values. We do in these cases, since they are
usually part of error paths.
This splits out a bunch of functions from fileio.c that have to do with
temporary files. Simply to make the header files a bit shorter, and to
group things more nicely.
No code changes, just some rearranging of source files.
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
Pretty much everything uses just the first argument, and this doesn't make this
common pattern more complicated, but makes it simpler to pass multiple options.
This is a bit like the info link in most of GNU's --help texts, but we
don't do info but man pages, and we make them properly clickable on
terminal supporting that, because awesome.
I think it's generally advisable to link up our (brief) --help texts and
our (more comprehensive) man pages a bit, so this should be an easy and
straight-forward way to do it.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
