Hello all (long time no see!) TL;DR: Allow syspatch -c run under non-priviledged user.
Reasoning: instead of putting syspatch -c in crontab, I've implemented a Zabbix trigger. Since the Zabbix agent runs as unpriviledged user, I had to add _zabbix line to doas.conf, allowing it to run syspatch -c. This way it works, but in the end I want this check either in stock Zabbix code, or in our packages. And requirement to modify doas.conf ruins all the fun. There is another way: writing some SUID script as simple as: #!/bin/sh case $1 in missing-syspatches) syspatch -c;; failed-services) rcctl ls failed;; *) echo "usage: ..." >&2; exit 1;; esac This way we could handle all possible future root-is-required cases at once. But adding SUID script... is it a Good Thing(TM)? But anyway, root-only requirement for listing available syspatches seems a bit silly. The patch was tested on 6.6. Well, it doesn't apply cleanly to 6.6, since "set +e" magic you see arrived in -CURRENT, but tweaked version runs smoothly. BTW, why do we ever call eval in unpriv()? Without eval, set +e isn't needed, FWIW. -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov Index: syspatch.sh =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/src/usr.sbin/syspatch/syspatch.sh,v retrieving revision 1.159 diff -u -p -r1.159 syspatch.sh --- syspatch.sh 10 Dec 2019 17:11:06 -0000 1.159 +++ syspatch.sh 14 Dec 2019 06:50:20 -0000 @@ -179,7 +179,7 @@ ls_missing() ${_MIRROR}/syspatch${_OSrev}-${_p}.tgz" { unpriv ${_cmd} | tar tzf -; } 2>/dev/null | while read _f; do [[ -f /${_f} ]] || continue && echo ${_p} && pkill -u \ - _syspatch -xf "${_cmd}" || true && break + $_USER -xf "${_cmd}" || true && break done done | sort -V } @@ -245,22 +245,26 @@ must be run manually to install the new unpriv() { - local _file=$2 _rc=0 _user=_syspatch + local _file=$2 _rc=0 if [[ $1 == -f && -n ${_file} ]]; then >${_file} - chown "${_user}" "${_file}" + chown "${_USER}" "${_file}" chmod 0711 ${_TMP} shift 2 fi (($# >= 1)) - # XXX ksh(1) bug; send error code to the caller instead of failing hard - set +e - eval su -s /bin/sh ${_user} -c "'$@'" || _rc=$? - set -e - - [[ -n ${_file} ]] && chown root "${_file}" + if (($(id -u) == 0)); then + # XXX ksh(1) bug; send error code to the caller instead of failing hard + set +e + eval su -s /bin/sh ${_USER} -c "'$@'" || _rc=$? + set -e + + [[ -n ${_file} ]] && chown root "${_file}" + else + "$@" || _rc=$? + fi return ${_rc} } @@ -270,7 +274,7 @@ set -A _KERNV -- $(sysctl -n kern.versio sed 's/^OpenBSD \([1-9][0-9]*\.[0-9]\)\([^ ]*\).*/\1 \2/;q') ((${#_KERNV[*]} > 1)) && sp_err "Unsupported release: ${_KERNV[0]}${_KERNV[1]}" -[[ $@ == @(|-[[:alpha:]]) ]] || usage; [[ $@ == @(|-(c|R|r)) ]] && +[[ $@ == @(|-[[:alpha:]]) ]] || usage; [[ $@ == @(|-(R|r)) ]] && (($(id -u) != 0)) && sp_err "need root privileges" [[ $@ == @(|-(R|r)) ]] && pgrep -qxf '/bin/ksh .*reorder_kernel' && sp_err "cannot apply patches while reorder_kernel is running" @@ -290,7 +294,13 @@ _PDIR="/var/syspatch" _TMP=$(mktemp -d -p ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} syspatch.XXXXXXXXXX) _KARL=false -readonly _BSDMP _KERNV _MIRROR _OSrev _PDIR _TMP +if (($(id -u) != 0)); then + _USER=$(id -nu) +else + _USER=_syspatch +fi + +readonly _BSDMP _KERNV _MIRROR _OSrev _PDIR _TMP _USER trap 'trap_handler' EXIT trap exit HUP INT TERM
