20: .Sh NAME
21: .Nm sudo_plugin
22: .Nd Sudo Plugin API
23: .Sh DESCRIPTION
24: Starting with version 1.8,
25: .Nm sudo
26: supports a plugin API
27: for policy and session logging.
28: By default, the
1.1.1.2 misho 29: .Nm sudoers
1.1 misho 30: policy plugin and an associated I/O logging plugin are used.
31: Via the plugin API,
32: .Nm sudo
33: can be configured to use alternate policy and/or I/O logging plugins
34: provided by third parties.
1.1.1.2 misho 35: The plugins to be used are specified in the
36: .Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
1.1 misho 37: file.
38: .Pp
39: The API is versioned with a major and minor number.
40: The minor version number is incremented when additions are made.
41: The major number is incremented when incompatible changes are made.
42: A plugin should be check the version passed to it and make sure that the
43: major version matches.
44: .Pp
45: The plugin API is defined by the
46: .Li sudo_plugin.h
47: header file.
48: .Ss Policy plugin API
49: A policy plugin must declare and populate a
50: .Li policy_plugin
51: struct in the global scope.
52: This structure contains pointers to the functions that implement the
53: .Nm sudo
54: policy checks.
55: The name of the symbol should be specified in
1.1.1.2 misho 56: .Xr sudo.conf @mansectform@
1.1 misho 57: along with a path to the plugin so that
58: .Nm sudo
59: can load it.

84: .Ed
85: .Pp
86: The policy_plugin struct has the following fields:
87: .Bl -tag -width 4n
88: .It type
89: The
90: .Li type
91: field should always be set to SUDO_POLICY_PLUGIN.
92: .It version
93: The
94: .Li version
95: field should be set to
96: .Dv SUDO_API_VERSION .
97: .Pp
98: This allows
99: .Nm sudo
100: to determine the API version the plugin was
101: built against.
102: .It open
103: .Bd -literal -compact
104: int (*open)(unsigned int version, sudo_conv_t conversation,
105: sudo_printf_t plugin_printf, char * const settings[],
106: char * const user_info[], char * const user_env[],

108: .Ed
109: .Pp
110: Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure, \-1 if a general error occurred,
111: or \-2 if there was a usage error.
112: In the latter case,
113: .Nm sudo
114: will print a usage message before it exits.
115: If an error occurs, the plugin may optionally call the
116: .Fn conversation
117: or
118: .Fn plugin_printf
119: function with
120: .Dv SUDO_CONF_ERROR_MSG
121: to present additional error information to the user.
122: .Pp
123: The function arguments are as follows:
124: .Bl -tag -width 4n
125: .It version
126: The version passed in by
127: .Nm sudo
128: allows the plugin to determine the
129: major and minor version number of the plugin API supported by
130: .Nm sudo .
131: .It conversation
132: A pointer to the
133: .Fn conversation
134: function that can be used by the plugin to interact with the user (see below).
135: Returns 0 on success and \-1 on failure.
136: .It plugin_printf
137: A pointer to a
138: .Fn printf Ns No -style
139: function that may be used to display informational or error messages
140: (see below).
141: Returns the number of characters printed on success and \-1 on failure.
142: .It settings
143: A vector of user-supplied
144: .Nm sudo
145: settings in the form of
146: .Dq name=value
147: strings.
148: The vector is terminated by a
149: .Dv NULL
150: pointer.
151: These settings correspond to flags the user specified when running
152: .Nm sudo .
153: As such, they will only be present when the corresponding flag has
154: been specified on the command line.
155: .Pp
156: When parsing
157: .Em settings ,
158: the plugin should split on the
159: .Sy first
160: equal sign
161: .Pq Ql =
162: since the
163: .Em name
164: field will never include one
165: itself but the
166: .Em value
167: might.
168: .Bl -tag -width 4n
1.1.1.2 misho 169: .It bsdauth_type=string
170: Authentication type, if specified by the

176: .Fl C
177: flag that
178: .Nm sudo
179: close all files descriptors with a value of
180: .Em number
181: or higher.
182: The plugin may optionally pass this, or another value, back in the
183: .Em command_info
184: list.
1.1 misho 185: .It debug_flags=string
186: A comma-separated list of debug flags that correspond to
187: .Nm sudo Ns No 's

1.1.1.2 misho 197: .Nm sudoers
1.1 misho 198: plugin is
199: .Em subsystem Ns No @ Ns Em priority
200: but the plugin is free to use a different
201: format so long as it does not include a comma
202: .Pq Ql ,\& .
203: There is not currently a way to specify a set of debug flags specific
204: to the plugin--the flags are shared by
205: .Nm sudo

214: command, indicating that the user wishes to ignore any cached
215: authentication credentials.
1.1 misho 216: .Em implied_shell
217: to true.
218: This allows
219: .Nm sudo
220: with no arguments
221: to be used similarly to
222: .Xr su 1 .
223: If the plugin does not to support this usage, it may return a value of \-2
224: from the
225: .Fn check_policy
226: function, which will cause
227: .Nm sudo
228: to print a usage message and

254: The address and netmask pairs may be either IPv4 or IPv6, depending on
255: what the operating system supports.
256: If the address contains a colon
257: .Pq Ql :\& ,
258: it is an IPv6 address, else it is IPv4.

583: is a mechanism for editing one or more files
584: where an editor is run with the user's credentials instead of with
585: elevated privileges.
586: .Nm sudo
587: achieves this by creating user-writable
588: temporary copies of the files to be edited and then overwriting the
589: originals with the temporary copies after editing is complete.
590: If the plugin supports
591: .Em sudoedit ,
592: it should choose the editor to be used, potentially from a variable
593: in the user's environment, such as
594: .Li EDITOR ,
595: and include it in
596: .Em argv_out
597: (note that environment
598: variables may include command line flags).
599: The files to be edited should be copied from
600: .Em argv
601: into
602: .Em argv_out ,
603: separated from the
604: editor and its arguments by a
605: .Dq Li --
606: element.
607: The
608: .Dq Li --
609: will
610: be removed by
611: .Nm sudo
612: before the editor is executed.
613: The plugin should also set
614: .Em sudoedit=true
615: in the
616: .Em command_info
617: list.
618: .Pp
619: The
620: .Fn check_policy
621: function returns 1 if the command is allowed,
622: 0 if not allowed, \-1 for a general error, or \-2 for a usage error
623: or if
624: .Em sudoedit
625: was specified but is unsupported by the plugin.
626: In the latter case,
627: .Nm sudo
628: will print a usage message before it
629: exits.
630: If an error occurs, the plugin may optionally call the
631: .Fn conversation
632: or
633: .Fn plugin_printf
634: function with
635: .Dv SUDO_CONF_ERROR_MSG
636: to present additional error information to the user.
637: .Pp
638: The function arguments are as follows:
639: .Bl -tag -width 4n
640: .It argc
641: The number of elements in
642: .Em argv ,
643: not counting the final
644: .Dv NULL
645: pointer.
646: .It argv
647: The argument vector describing the command the user wishes to run,
648: in the same form as what would be passed to the
649: .Xr execve 2
650: system call.
651: The vector is terminated by a
652: .Dv NULL
653: pointer.
654: .It env_add
655: Additional environment variables specified by the user on the command
656: line in the form of a
657: .Dv NULL Ns No -terminated
658: vector of
659: .Dq name=value
660: strings.
661: The plugin may reject the command if one or more variables
662: are not allowed to be set, or it may silently ignore such variables.
663: .Pp
664: When parsing
665: .Em env_add ,
666: the plugin should split on the
667: .Sy first
668: equal sign
669: .Pq Ql =
670: since the
671: .Em name
672: field will never include one
673: itself but the
674: .Em value
675: might.
676: .It command_info
677: Information about the command being run in the form of
678: .Dq name=value
679: strings.
680: These values are used by
681: .Nm sudo
682: to set the execution
683: environment when running a command.
684: The plugin is responsible for creating and populating the vector,
685: which must be terminated with a
686: .Dv NULL
687: pointer.
688: The following values are recognized by
689: .Nm sudo :
690: .Bl -tag -width 4n
691: .It chroot=string
692: The root directory to use when running the command.
693: .It closefrom=number
694: If specified,
695: .Nm sudo
696: will close all files descriptors with a value
697: of
698: .Em number
699: or higher.
1.1.1.2 misho 700: .It command=string
701: Fully qualified path to the command to be executed.
702: .It cwd=string
703: The current working directory to change to when executing the command.
704: .It exec_background=bool
705: By default,
706: .Nm sudo
707: runs a command as the foreground process as long as
708: .Nm sudo
709: itself is running in the foreground.
710: When
711: .Em exec_background
712: is enabled and the command is being run in a pty (due to I/O logging
713: or the
714: .Em use_pty
715: setting), the command will be run as a background process.
716: Attempts to read from the controlling terminal (or to change terminal
717: settings) will result in the command being suspended with the
718: .Dv SIGTTIN
719: signal (or
720: .Dv SIGTTOU
721: in the case of terminal settings).
722: If this happens when
723: .Nm sudo
724: is a foreground process, the command will be granted the controlling terminal
725: and resumed in the foreground with no user intervention required.
726: The advantage of initially running the command in the background is that
727: .Nm sudo
728: need not read from the terminal unless the command explicitly requests it.
729: Otherwise, any terminal input must be passed to the command, whether it
730: has required it or not (the kernel buffers terminals so it is not possible
731: to tell whether the command really wants the input).
732: This is different from historic
733: .Em sudo
734: behavior or when the command is not being run in a pty.
735: .Pp
736: For this to work seamlessly, the operating system must support the
737: automatic restarting of system calls.
738: Unfortunately, not all operating systems do this by default,
739: and even those that do may have bugs.
740: For example, Mac OS X fails to restart the
741: .Fn tcgetattr
742: and
743: .Fn tcsetattr
744: system calls (this is a bug in Mac OS X).
745: Furthermore, because this behavior depends on the command stopping with the
746: .Dv SIGTTIN
747: or
748: .Dv SIGTTOU
749: signals, programs that catch these signals and suspend themselves
750: with a different signal (usually
751: .Dv SIGTOP )
752: will not be automatically foregrounded.
753: Some versions of the linux
754: .Xr su 1
755: command behave this way.
756: Because of this, a plugin should not set
757: .Em exec_background
758: unless it is explicitly enabled by the administrator and there should
759: be a way to enabled or disable it on a per-command basis.
760: .Pp
761: This setting has no effect unless I/O logging is enabled or
762: .Em use_pty
763: is enabled.
1.1 misho 764: .It iolog_compress=bool
765: Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should compress the

768: .It iolog_path=string
769: Fully qualified path to the file or directory in which I/O log is
770: to be stored.
771: This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
772: If no I/O logging plugin is loaded, this setting has no effect.
773: .It iolog_stdin=bool
774: Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log the

777: .It iolog_stdout=bool
778: Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log the

780: This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
781: .It iolog_stderr=bool
782: Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log the
783: standard error if it is not connected to a terminal device.
784: This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
785: .It iolog_ttyin=bool
786: Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log all
787: terminal input.
788: This only includes input typed by the user and not from a pipe or
789: redirected from a file.
790: This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
791: .It iolog_ttyout=bool
792: Set to true if the I/O logging plugins, if any, should log all
793: terminal output.
794: This only includes output to the screen, not output to a pipe or file.
795: This is a hint to the I/O logging plugin which may choose to ignore it.
1.1.1.2 misho 796: .It login_class=string
797: BSD login class to use when setting resource limits and nice value
798: (optional).
799: This option is only set on systems that support login classes.
800: .It nice=int
801: Nice value (priority) to use when executing the command.
802: The nice value, if specified, overrides the priority associated with the
803: .Em login_class
804: on BSD systems.
805: .It noexec=bool
806: If set, prevent the command from executing other programs.
807: .It preserve_groups=bool
808: If set,
809: .Nm sudo
810: will preserve the user's group vector instead of
811: initializing the group vector based on
812: .Li runas_user .
813: .It runas_egid=gid
814: Effective group ID to run the command as.

826: The supplementary group vector to use for the command in the form
827: of a comma-separated list of group IDs.

830: is set, this option is ignored.
831: .It runas_uid=uid
832: User ID to run the command as.
833: .It selinux_role=string
834: SELinux role to use when executing the command.
835: .It selinux_type=string
836: SELinux type to use when executing the command.
837: .It set_utmp=bool
838: Create a utmp (or utmpx) entry when a pseudo-tty is allocated.
839: By default, the new entry will be a copy of the user's existing utmp
840: entry (if any), with the tty, time, type and pid fields updated.
841: .It sudoedit=bool
842: Set to true when in
843: .Em sudoedit
844: mode.
845: The plugin may enable
846: .Em sudoedit
847: mode even if
848: .Nm sudo
849: was not invoked as
850: .Nm sudoedit .
851: This allows the plugin to perform command substitution and transparently
852: enable
853: .Em sudoedit
854: when the user attempts to run an editor.
855: .It timeout=int
856: Command timeout.

867: .It utmp_user=string
868: User name to use when constructing a new utmp (or utmpx) entry when
869: .Em set_utmp
870: is enabled.
871: This option can be used to set the user field in the utmp entry to
872: the user the command runs as rather than the invoking user.
873: If not set,
874: .Nm sudo
875: will base the new entry on

1804: .It Dv SUDO_HOOK_RET_NEXT
1805: The hook completed without error, go on to the next hook (including
1806: the native implementation if applicable).
1807: For example, a

1809: hook might return
1810: .Dv SUDO_HOOK_RET_NEXT
1811: if the specified variable was not found in the private copy of the environment.

1813: The hook completed without error, stop processing hooks for this invocation.

1826: For example, a

1828: hook that calls the

1833: .Xr getenv 3
1834: to check the locale.
1835: To prevent this, you may wish to use a static variable in the hook
1836: function to guard against nested calls.

1838: .Bd -literal
1839: static int in_progress = 0; /* avoid recursion */

1.1.1.3 ! misho 1867: .Ss Remote command execution
! 1868: The
! 1869: .Nm sudo
! 1870: front end does not have native support for running remote commands.
! 1871: However, starting with
! 1872: .Nm sudo
! 1873: 1.8.8, the
! 1874: .Fl h
! 1875: option may be used to specify a remote host that is passed
! 1876: to the policy plugin.
! 1877: A plugin may also accept a
! 1878: .Em runas_user
! 1879: in the form of
! 1880: .Dq user@hostname
! 1881: which will work with older versions of
! 1882: .Nm sudo .
! 1883: It is anticipated that remote commands will be supported by executing a
! 1884: .Dq helper
! 1885: program.
! 1886: The policy plugin should setup the execution environment such that the
! 1887: .Nm sudo
! 1888: front end will run the helper which, in turn, will connect to the
! 1889: remote host and run the command.
! 1890: .Pp
! 1891: For example, the policy plugin could utilize
! 1892: .Nm ssh
! 1893: to perform remote command execution.
! 1894: The helper program would be responsible for running
! 1895: .Nm ssh
! 1896: with the proper options to use a private key or certificate
! 1897: that the remote host will accept and run a program
! 1898: on the remote host that would setup the execution environment
! 1899: accordingly.
! 1900: .Pp
! 1901: Note that remote
! 1902: .Nm sudoedit
! 1903: functionality must be handled by the policy plugin, not
! 1904: .Nm sudo
! 1905: itself as the front end has no knowledge that a remote command is
! 1906: being executed.
! 1907: This may be addressed in a future revision of the plugin API.

1909: If the plugin needs to interact with the user, it may do so via the

1913: or the user's tty (neither of which are guaranteed to exist).

1915: .Li msg
1916: if one is to be printed.

1918: A
