Subject: Setuid programs
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2020 08:34:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAE4v=pif+ofumQaju=ZTH7hpUrbQ-ZG9ekqAj0wadO7g7GCaVQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello guix,
I would like to propose an extension to how setuid programs are
currently handled. The last time I checked it could only do setuid and
setgid root. Some services, such as postfix need a more fine grained
setuid setup. I would propose a record type, such as:
(setuid
(program setuid-program)
(setuid setuid-setuid)
(setgid setuid-setgid)
(user setuid-user)
(group setuid-group))
So that there is more fine grained control.
I would also propose to move this to the services framework, so that
services could extend this field on demand.
Wdyt?
Best regards,
g_bor
