Announce: CaclMgr -- a better setuid mechanism

Post by Roge » Sun, 15 Aug 1999 04:00:00



I'm proud to announce CaclMgr version 2.4. For evalutaion purpose, it
can be
freely downloaded from
 http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/commercial

CaclMgr(TM) is a tool to let administrators/users have a easy way to
grant/
check/revoke their priviledges be used by others when execute
prespecified
commands. For example, it's now very easy and much more secure than
using
other method to grant identity on shell scripts to others. By using
caclMgr
package, the chance to need to develop new setuid programs or have to
turn
on setuid bit on existing commands are greately reduced.

Compared with sudo, caclMgr is more multi-user friendly and every user
has
his/her own database so that there is no need every time to log on as
root
to update the database. With every command in caclMgr package only does
single
task and maintained as simple as possible, there is much less risks to
have
bugs when compared with the becoming more and more complicated sudo.

CaclMgr has versions for SUN Solaris 2.x/Sparc, IBM AIX 4.x, SCO
OpenServer
5.x, Linux X86/2.2.x and HP-UX 10.x.

Package Check Sum:
1737011189 1219067 caclMgr-2.4.Linux.cpio.gz

I don't care *what* features you have or claim to have.  as long as
only you can see the source code, I'm not interested.  I trust *any*
program that's been audited by hundreds of independent programmers
more than *any* program only one company can audit.  especially one
that is security critical.  this has nothing to do with price.  it has
to do with freedom and security.

andru
ps why did you use cpio rather than tar?  why did you use absolute
pathnames?
