[opensuse-factory] OSEP: openSUSE Distribution Daemon User and Group Names
by Guido Berhoerster 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hello, after initial discussion on the -packaging list (see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2014-02/msg00136.html) and incorporating some of the feedback we would like to introduce the attached openSUSE Enhancement Proposal about creating a safe namspace of system user and group names. Further comments and reviews would be appreciated. Full text of the OSEP (currently maintained at https://github.com/lnussel/osep_opensuse_usernames/blob/master/opensuse_use…) … [View More]_____________________________________________________________________ OSEP: XXXX Title: Informational proposal: openSUSE Distribution Daemon User and Group Names Version: 0.1 Last-Modified: 03 Mar 2014 Author: Guido Berhoerster <gber(a)opensuse.org>, Ludwig Nussel <ludwig.nussel(a)suse.de> Status: Draft Type: Informational Created: 28 Feb 2014 Post-History: _____________________________________________________________________ Abstract -------- This OSEP proposes a defined pattern for unprivileged system user and group names. Specification ------------- Packages that add unprivileged users to e.g. run daemons as need to use names that follow the following regular expression: ^_[0-9a-z][0-9a-z_]*$ This policy is meant to be applied to all packages that are new to openSUSE Factory. Existing packages are encouraged to switch to the new policy. An exception are legacy users with a static uid as created on first installation by aaa_base, like e.g. 'root' or 'nobody'. Motivation ---------- Many packages need to add user and group names for their unprivileged daemons. Currently openSUSE Factory has a known lists of more than 130<<A>> such daemon user names. Many names are short for convenience, e.g. 'pop', 'vdr', 'tor' or 'znc'. Since there is no separate name space for system users those names may collide with names of real persons. A common pattern for user names on unix systems also is to combine letters of the given names and the surname which may lead to combinations that may also collide with system user names. Sharing a user name between a system user and a normal user leads to surprising or even security relevant misbehavior as the daemon user may write to files in the real user's home or vice versa. Since introducing a separate namespace is not possible in the current name service model, separating system users and real users must be done by naming them differently. Rationale --------- A special prefix or suffix to user names is a straight forward solution to the same namespace problem. Since long user names may not fully be displayed by e.g. the ps tool the chosen method needs to be short. Therefore using a single letter character may be used. According to the recommended regular expression for usernames in the useradd manpage<<D>> of the shadow package, dollar could be used as suffix or underscore as prefix or suffix. OpenBSD already implemented a policy to use underscore (ASCII character 95) as prefix in 2003<<C>>. This method is therefore considered proven in practice. For symmetry reasons and because many packages also create groups with the same name as the user the same solution should be applied to groups as well.

[opensuse-factory] About Factory's Version
by Stephan Kulow 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Hi, As mentioned in several situations, it's my declared goal to seperate Factory from openSUSE releases in people's mindset and run it as a rolling distribution with its own agenda. So far Factory was meant purely as testbed for the next openSUSE release. But this has changed, and e.g. Factory releases DVDs whenever they are tested as good enough - see http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/ While openSUSE releases benefit from being "13.2", I feel we need something else than "13.2 … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Reasons to switch to Factory
by Stephan Kulow 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Hi, We[¹]'re working on a news article on Factory becoming a true rolling distribution[²] instead of being the development branch. As you will be very well aware, it's been a while since 13.1 (acording to the original 8 month cycle we would release in 3 weeks - and I'm actually quite happy we're not putting a release out a day after the Final ;-) But I still would like to listen reasons why people should not be sad 13.2 is not released, but rather take a second look at switching to Factory. … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] BFQ KMP for testing
by Takashi Iwai 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi, I made a quick add-on KMP for BFQ I/O scheduler that has been posted recently to LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/29/411 If you have a problem regarding I/O and desktop latency, this might be interesting. The KMP is found in OBS home:tiwai:bfq/bfq repo. It's currently built for openSUSE-FACTORY, openSUSE-13.1, SLE12 and Kernel:HEAD kernels. After installing the KMP, load bfq-iosched kernel module, and change the scheduler like: # echo bfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler If … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] Grub2 with XFS in root and no /boot ?
by vetter＠physik.uni-wuerzburg.de 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hi, should it be possible to have XFS in the root partition without separate /boot partition, when using grub2? Here is why I'm asking: I downloaded the Net-Install-CD: openSUSE-Factory-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20140619-Media.iso I booted a VMware VM from it. The VM has 1 GB RAM and a 60 GB disk. I partitioned: sda1 512 MB swap sda2 59.5 GB / xfs Then installed default KDE selection. There are 2 things: 1) When the machine has only 1 GB RAM, installation of bootloader gives no error, but … [View More]

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 13.1 cannot find /dev/root during boot up
by Roman Bysh 29 Jun '14

Hello List Mates, After reinstalling openSUSE 13.1 for the "8th" time, I am now posting what I believe is a serious problem with "mkinitrd" . I have a openSUSE 13.1 installed on my entire primary SATA Western Digital Black 500 GB drive. The secondary SATA is a Western Digital Blue 500 GB drive with OSX Mavericks installed on the first partition. The second partition is Linux /Data backup. Over the last few months, I've had to disconnect the secondary drive when updating openSUSE 13.1 so … [View More]
