Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Alternatives for sudo?? Post 302442095 by hergp on Tuesday 3rd of August 2010 09:04:42 AM

I'm not sure if the suid bit is the best way to go, because the next update-rpm might change the access rights back to the Redhat default which seems to be not suid.

NAME
ikisite-wrapper - suid wrapper for ikisite SYNOPSIS
ikisite-wrapper subcommand options DESCRIPTION
ikisite-wrapper is a wrapper around ikisite. It is designed to be safely made suid root, though it is not currently suid by default. A few ikisite subcommands can be run using the wrapper without any authorisation at all. These include: create, branch, list, sitelookup, checklock, updatecustomersite, and enabledns. So making the wrapper suid allows any user to create a site. Other ikisite subcommands can only be run using the wrapper by users who specify a nonce in the IKISITE_NONCE environment variable. These include: delete, changesetup, domains, and deletenonce. A site's current nonces are stored in its .ikisite-nonce file. A nonce can be generated by root or the site's user via using the creat- enonce subcommand, but it's usually generated by passing --createnonce to the create or branch subcommands. This allows anyone to create or branch a site and then use the nonce to allow further configuration of it (and delete it if something goes wrong). Subcommands that can be called by the wrapper either without or with a nonce should be sure to fully validate their inputs. SEE ALSO
