-Streamline authorized_user_ids setup (including question of where
- authorized_user_ids files should go). See
- doc/george/user-id-configuration for what dkg went through on
- 2008-06-19
-
Ensure that authorized_user_ids are under as tight control as ssh
expects from authorized_keys: we don't want monkeysphere to be a
weak link in the filesystem.
-What happens when there are no entries in the authorized_user_ids file
- for a user? /var/cache/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/$USER.tmp
- seems like it gets created and then left there.
-
What happens when a user account has no corresponding
/etc/monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids/$USER file? What gets placed
in /var/cache/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/$USER? It looks
currently untouched, which could mean bad things for such a user.
+ - if authorized_user_ids is empty, then the user's authorized_keys
+ file will be also, unless the user-controlled authorized_keys file
+ is added. I believe this is expected, correct behavior.
Consider the default permissions for
/var/cache/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/* (and indeed the whole
directory path leading up to that)
-What should happen when an admin does
- "monkeysphere-server update-users not_an_existent_user"?
- currently, it adds
- /etc/monkeysphere/authorized_user_ids/not_an_existent_user, which
- seems rather wrong.
-
-is /var/cache/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/$USER.tmp guaranteed to
- avoid collisions? Why not use a real mktemp file?
-
As an administrator, how do i reverse the effect of a
"monkeysphere-server trust-keys" that i later decide i should not
have run?
