.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The routines described in this document are part of the \fIlibwrap.a\fR
|
|
library. They implement a rule-based access control language with
|
|
optional shell commands that are executed when a rule fires.
|
|
.PP
|
|
request_init() initializes a structure with information about a client
|
|
request. request_set() updates an already initialized request
|
|
structure. Both functions take a variable-length list of key-value
|
|
pairs and return their first argument. The argument lists are
|
|
terminated with a zero key value. All string-valued arguments are
|
|
copied. The expected keys (and corresponding value types) are:
|
|
.IP "RQ_FILE (int)"
|
|
The file descriptor associated with the request.
|
|
.IP "RQ_CLIENT_NAME (char *)"
|
|
The client host name.
|
|
.IP "RQ_CLIENT_ADDR (char *)"
|
|
A printable representation of the client network address.
|
|
.IP "RQ_CLIENT_SIN (struct sockaddr_in *)"
|
|
An internal representation of the client network address and port. The
|
|
contents of the structure are not copied.
|
|
.IP "RQ_SERVER_NAME (char *)"
|
|
The hostname associated with the server endpoint address.
|
|
.IP "RQ_SERVER_ADDR (char *)"
|
|
A printable representation of the server endpoint address.
|
|
.IP "RQ_SERVER_SIN (struct sockaddr_in *)"
|
|
An internal representation of the server endpoint address and port.
|
|
The contents of the structure are not copied.
|
|
.IP "RQ_DAEMON (char *)"
|
|
The name of the daemon process running on the server host.
|
|
.IP "RQ_USER (char *)"
|
|
The name of the user on whose behalf the client host makes the request.
|
|
.PP
|
|
hosts_access() consults the access control tables described in the
|
|
\fIhosts_access(5)\fR manual page. When internal endpoint information
|
|
is available, host names and client user names are looked up on demand,
|
|
using the request structure as a cache. hosts_access() returns zero if
|
|
access should be denied.
|
|
.PP
|
|
hosts_ctl() is a wrapper around the request_init() and hosts_access()
|
|
routines with a perhaps more convenient interface (though it does not
|
|
pass on enough information to support automated client username
|
|
lookups). The client host address, client host name and username
|
|
arguments should contain valid data or STRING_UNKNOWN. hosts_ctl()
|
|
returns zero if access should be denied.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIallow_severity\fR and \fIdeny_severity\fR variables determine
|
|
how accepted and rejected requests may be logged. They must be provided
|
|
by the caller and may be modified by rules in the access control
|
|
tables.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Problems are reported via the syslog daemon.
|
|
.SH SEE ALSO
|
|
hosts_access(5), format of the access control tables.
|
|
hosts_options(5), optional extensions to the base language.
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
/etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny, access control tables.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
hosts_access() uses the strtok() library function. This may interfere
|
|
with other code that relies on strtok().
