Relevant BUGIDs:
Purpose of commit: bugfix, new feature Commit summary: --------------- 2008-02-13 Tomas Mraz <t8m@centrum.cz> * modules/pam_namespace/Makefile.am: Add argv_parse files and namespace.d dir. * modules/pam_namespace/argv_parse.c: New file. * modules/pam_namespace/argv_parse.h: New file. * modules/pam_namespace/namespace.conf.5.xml: Document new features. * modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.8.xml: Likewise. * modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.h: Use SECURECONF_DIR define. Define NAMESPACE_D_DIR and NAMESPACE_D_GLOB. Define new option flags and polydir flags. (polydir_s): Add rdir, replace exclusive with flags, add init_script, owner, group, and mode. (instance_data): Add ruser, gid, and ruid. * modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.c: Remove now unused copy_ent(). (add_polydir_entry): Add the entry directly, no copy. (del_polydir): New function. (del_polydir_list): Call del_polydir(). (expand_variables, parse_create_params, parse_iscript_params, parse_method): New functions. (process_line): Call expand_variables() on polydir and instance prefix. Call argv_parse() instead of strtok_r(). Allocate struct polydir_s on heap. (parse_config_file): Parse .conf files from namespace.d dir after namespace.conf. (form_context): Call getcon() or get_default_context_with_level() when appropriate flags are set. (poly_name): Handle shared polydir flag. (inst_init): Execute non-default init script when specified. (create_polydir): New function. (create_dirs): Remove the code which checks the polydir. Do not call inst_init() when noinit flag is set. (ns_setup): Check the polydir and eventually create it if the create flag is set. (setup_namespace): Use ruser uid from idata. Set the namespace polydir pam data only when namespace was set up correctly. Unmount polydir based on ruser. (get_user_data): New function. (pam_sm_open_session): Check for use_current_context and use_default_context options. Call get_user_data(). (pam_sm_close_session): Call get_user_data().
