From: Michael Tokarev Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 12:25:41 +0000 (+0400) Subject: Implement privilege dropping X-Git-Tag: release-1.0.10~77 X-Git-Url: https://tinc-vpn.org/git/browse?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ec316aa32e8567395a88c4583007f01ffae008ce;p=tinc Implement privilege dropping Add two options, -R/--chroot and -U/--user=user, to chroot to the config directory (where tinc.conf is located) and to perform setuid to the user specified, after all the initialization is done. What's left is handling of pid file since we can't remove it anymore. --- diff --git a/doc/tinc.texi b/doc/tinc.texi index ac52e7b4..02265dc5 100644 --- a/doc/tinc.texi +++ b/doc/tinc.texi @@ -1511,6 +1511,23 @@ Write PID to @var{file} instead of @file{@value{localstatedir}/run/tinc.@var{net Disables encryption and authentication.
