Eelco Dolstra d3fe6ab024 * Also for convenience, change the ownership of the build output even 
in case of failure.
 2006-12-08 00:19:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 096194ab29 * Remove ancient terminology. 2006-12-07 23:58:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6833e8bbe8 * When keeping the temporary build directory (-K), change the owner 
back to the Nix account.
 2006-12-07 23:27:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2819eb36a4 * Be less verbose. 2006-12-07 21:43:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c3286ec020 * Don't count on the Pid deconstructor to kill the child process, 
since if we're running a build user in non-root mode, we can't.  Let
  the setuid helper do it.
 2006-12-07 17:52:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f76fdb6d42 * If not running as root, let the setuid helper kill the build user's 
processes before and after the build.
 2006-12-07 16:33:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ec23ecc64d * In the garbage collector, if deleting a path fails, try to fix its 
ownership, then try again.
 2006-12-07 15:54:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0a43c3206 * When not running as root, call the setuid helper to change the 
ownership of the build result after the build.
 2006-12-07 15:18:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a07ff1ec0 * Change the ownership of store paths to the Nix account before 
deleting them using the setuid helper.
 2006-12-07 14:14:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d8cf316ee * Pass the actual build user to the setuid helper. 2006-12-07 11:27:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a45c498e4e * If Nix is not running as root, call the setuid helper to start the 
builder under the desired build user.
 2006-12-07 00:42:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 813a7c65c9 * Sanity check. 2006-12-07 00:19:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6a8e60913a * Move killUser() to libutil so that the setuid helper can use it. 2006-12-07 00:16:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6e5ec1029a * Get rid of `build-users'. We'll just take all the members of 
`build-users-group'.  This makes configuration easier: you can just
  add users in /etc/group.
 2006-12-06 20:00:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f0efa6611 * Start of the setuid helper (the program that performs the operations 
that have to be done as root: running builders under different uids,
  changing ownership of build results, and deleting paths in the store
  with the wrong ownership).
 2006-12-06 01:24:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b558843a2 * Be less chatty. 2006-12-05 19:01:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 44cad9630f * Urgh. Do setgid() before setuid(), because the semantics of setgid() 
changes completely depending on whether you're root...
 2006-12-05 18:28:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4c1c37d0b6 * FreeBSD returns ESRCH when there are no processes to kill. 2006-12-05 18:07:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 62b0497c0f * Better message. 2006-12-05 16:17:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a9c4f66cfb * Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to do 
`nix-store --delete'.  But unprivileged users are not allowed to
  ignore liveness.
* `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as
  well.
 2006-12-05 02:18:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 29cf434a35 * The determination of the root set should be made by the privileged 
process, so forward the operation.
* Spam the user about GC misconfigurations (NIX-71).
* findRoots: skip all roots that are unreadable - the warnings with
  which we spam the user should be enough.
 2006-12-05 01:31:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8623256f48 * findRoots: return a map from the symlink (outside of the store) to 
the store path (inside the store).
 2006-12-05 00:48:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d27a73b1a9 * In addPermRoot, check that the root that we just registered can be 
found by the garbage collector.  This addresses NIX-71 and is a
  particular concern in multi-user stores.
 2006-12-05 00:34:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 74033a844f * Add indirect root registration to the protocol so that unprivileged 
processes can register indirect roots.  Of course, there is still
  the problem that the garbage collector can only read the targets of
  the indirect roots when it's running as root...
 2006-12-04 23:29:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7751160e9f * Don't redirect stderr. 2006-12-04 19:10:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40c3529909 * Handle exceptions and stderr for all protocol functions. 
* SIGIO -> SIGPOLL (POSIX calls it that).
* Use sigaction instead of signal to register the SIGPOLL handler.
  Sigaction is better defined, and a handler registered with signal
  appears not to interrupt fcntl(..., F_SETLKW, ...), which is bad.
 2006-12-04 17:55:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0130ef88ea * Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the server 
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket.  The
  server forks a worker process per connection.
* readString(): use the heap, not the stack.
* Some protocol fixes.
 2006-12-04 17:17:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4740baf3a6 * When NIX_REMOTE=daemon, connect to /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket 
instead of forking a worker.
 2006-12-04 14:21:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f5f0cf423f * Refactoring. 2006-12-04 13:28:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 052b6fb149 * Pass the verbosity level to the worker. 2006-12-04 13:15:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1e16d20655 * Install the worker in bindir, not libexecdir. 
* Allow the worker path to be overriden through the NIX_WORKER
  environment variable.
 2006-12-04 13:09:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f4279bcde0 * Don't run setuid root when build-users is empty. 
* Send startup errors to the client.
 2006-12-03 16:25:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 35247c4c9f * Removed `build-allow-root'. 
* Added `build-users-group', the group under which builds are to be
  performed.
* Check that /nix/store has 1775 permission and is owner by the
  build-users-group.
 2006-12-03 15:32:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4251f94b32 * Use a Unix domain socket instead of pipes. 2006-12-03 02:36:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8c76df93e6 * Better error message if the worker doesn't start. 2006-12-03 02:22:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7951c3c546 * Some hackery to propagate the worker's stderr and exceptions to the 
client.
 2006-12-03 02:08:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e25fad691a * Move addTempRoot() to the store API, and add another function 
syncWithGC() to allow clients to register GC roots without needing
  write access to the global roots directory or the GC lock.
 2006-12-02 16:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9c9cdb06d0 * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. 2006-12-02 14:34:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8ba5d32769 * Remove queryPathHash(). 
* Help for nix-worker.
 2006-12-02 14:27:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fcd9900d74 * Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore. 2006-12-01 21:00:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a824d58b56 * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed. 
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode.
  Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call
  computeStorePathForPath).
 2006-12-01 20:51:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b0d8e05be1 * More operations. 
* addToStore() and friends: don't do a round-trip to the worker if
  we're only interested in the path (i.e., in read-only mode).
 2006-12-01 18:00:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0565b5f2b3 * More remote operations. 
* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than
  querySubstitutes().size() > 0.
 2006-11-30 22:43:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aac547a8b3 * Doh. 2006-11-30 21:32:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0263279071 * More operations. 2006-11-30 20:45:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a711689368 * First remote operation: isValidPath(). 2006-11-30 20:13:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 765bdfe542 * When NIX_REMOTE is set to "slave", fork off nix-worker in slave 
mode.  Presumably nix-worker would be setuid to the Nix store user.
  The worker performs all operations on the Nix store and database, so
  the caller can be completely unprivileged.

  This is already much more secure than the old setuid scheme, since
  the worker doesn't need to do Nix expression evaluation and so on.
  Most importantly, this means that it doesn't need to access any user
  files, with all resulting security risks; it only performs pure
  store operations.

  Once this works, it is easy to move to a daemon model that forks off
  a worker for connections established through a Unix domain socket.
  That would be even more secure.
 2006-11-30 19:54:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40b3f64b55 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program. 
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation
  code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol
  implementation.
 2006-11-30 19:19:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9adc074dc3 * Oops. 2006-11-30 18:35:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9cf1948993 * Skeleton of remote store implementation. 2006-11-30 18:35:36 +00:00
