Hello all !
I have a question about best configuring elektra to be used by multiple system users.
Our company is currently migrating from windows and netware to linux and elektra was the choice for the registry components. We are migrating some applications to linux that need read write access to the registry.
As those applications run on different system accounts, without root privilegs, they all have to read / write the same registry keys below system. Right now we know that we have several solutions for that:
1. put all those system accounts in a group, and every time we set a registry key we should add the mode 664 and the gid parameters to the kdb command. As we do a lot of set with kdb a lot to do.
2. we can set the GUID bit on the /etc/kdb directory and set the appropriate group on that directory. So all created files and directories below will inherit that group. Additional we have to use the mode parameter to give the group write access.
3. put some shell scripts around the kdb command which add the mode and gid automatically.
I would be interested in how other would handle such a problem.
I thought there might maybe a shell enbironment variable like the KDB_ROOT where we can add the mode and the gid. But I found nothing about that. Maybe something for the wishlist for the next versions.
Thanks for elektra (!!!) and thanks for any suggestion.
Rainer
