multiadm-1.0.5.tar.bz2

Posted May 2, 2006

Authored by Jan Engelhardt | Site alphagate.hopto.org

The MultiAdmin security framework kernel module provides a means to have multiple root users with unique UIDs. This bypasses collation order problems with NSCD, allows you to have files with unique owners, and allows you to track the quota usage for every real user. It also implements a sub-admin, a partially restricted root user who has full read-only access to most subsystems, but write rights only to a limited subset, for example writing to files or killing processes only of certain users.

Changes: Most LSM hooks have been collapsed and unused arguments have been removed. capable() was slightly changed which made the patch smaller. The MultiAdmin module and kernel patch were updated to 2.6.17-rc3.
