msudir allows enabled users to easily manage 'setuid' scripts and
binaries. A directory containing scripts or other executables is
created inside the basedir for each destination user. Any user is
then able to invoke the script 'bar' in the directory 'fu' via
'msudir fu/bar'. The script will be run under the uid and primary
gid of the destination user. Some effort is taken to sanitise the
arguments and environment, but msudir should not be used without
an understanding of the security implication.
out-of-date very frequently, and it's sole purpose seems to be to provide
the uvscan package with the update_dat script so that uvscan can keep
up-to-date with the latest virus definitions.
A MESSAGE file has been added to security/uvscan that recommends running
"update_dat" to update the virus definitions database to the most recent
version after installation. The update_dat script has also been rewritten
to allow the new syntax "update -f <DATFILE>" to update from an already-
downloaded DATFILE, so users will still be able to do bulk downloads to
removable media on a machine with a fat connection and be able to compile
and install a usable uvscan package on another machine.
Bump the PKGREVISION on uvscan to 1 and mark the CONFLICT with the obsolete
uvscan-dat packages.
msu (or mini/mono su) is a simple way to provide passwordless access to
accounts specified in a config file. Useful for shared accounts and suchlike.
Its more a convenient way to _reduce_ security, than increase it, but as its
related to account authorisation it goes into security...
