|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
CryptoBoxRootActions \- The CryptoBoxWebserver calls this script in order to execute various programs which require root privileges.
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B CryptoBoxRootActions
|
||||
check
|
||||
.br
|
||||
.B CryptoBoxRootActions
|
||||
plugin \fIFEATURE_SCRIPT\fR [\fIARGS\fR]

|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
CryptoBoxRootActions is a script that is called by the \fBCryptoBox\fR to execute
|
||||
programs which require root privileges. You will never call this program directly. This
|
||||
manpage should only be useful as a reference for developers of the CryptoBox.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
To let the CryptoBox gain root permissions you need the program \fBsuper\fR.
|
||||
It is configured properly if it \fI/etc/super.tab\fR contains the following line:
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
CryptoBoxRootActions /usr/sbin/CryptoBoxRootActions cryptobox
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
We assume that the CryptoBoxRootActions script is located at
|
||||
\fI/usr/sbin/CryptoBoxRootActions\fR. Furthermore the user running the CryptoBox
|
||||
server is assumed to be \fIcryptobox\fR.
|
||||
.SH CONFIGURATION CHECK
|
||||
Call the CryptoBoxRootActions script with the argument \fIcheck\fR to test if
|
||||
\fBsuper\fR is configured properly. Just type the following:
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
super CryptoBoxRootActions check; echo $?
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
This should output '0' for success. Any other value indicates a problem and should
|
||||
be accompanied by a descriptive error message.
|
||||
.SH FEATURE SCRIPTS
|
||||
The CryptoBox can be easily extended with new features. Refer to the developer
|
||||
documentation of the CryptoBox for more details.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
If a feature needs root privileges to accomplish its function, then you have to write
|
||||
a separate python script for these actions. This script mus fulfill the following
|
||||
conditions:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
writable only for root
|
||||
The script and all its parent directories may not be writable for anyone except root.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
must be executable
|
||||
The execution permission bit of the script must be set.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
marking member
|
||||
The script must contain a member called \fBPLUGIN_TYPE\fR with the string value
|
||||
\fIcryptobox\fR. This prevents the execution of arbitrary scripts.
|
||||
.SH EVENT SCRIPTS
|
||||
The CryptoBox calls all scripts within a given directory whenever specific events
|
||||
occour. Possible events are mounting and unmounting of disks or the bootup or shutdown
|
||||
of the CryptoBox. Refer to \fI/usr/share/doc/cryptobox/event-scripts/README\fR
|
||||
for further details.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
An event script must fulfill the following conditions:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
writable only for root
|
||||
The script and all its parent directories must not be writable for anyone except root.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
must be executable
|
||||
The execution permission bit of the script must be set.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
marked directory
|
||||
The directory of the script must also contain a file called \fI_cryptobox_events_\fR to prevent the execution of arbitrary scripts.
|
||||
.SH SELECTED PROGRAMS
|
||||
Very few selected programs may be called via CryptoBoxRootActions. Examples
|
||||
are \fBcryptsetup\fR and \fBmount\fR. Refer to the source of CryptoBoxRootActions
|
||||
for details.

simple access to your data.
