privlx (Privilege List eXecute) Allow unprivileged users to run executables for privileged users. NOTE: Some features are still coming, until then expect the ABI to break. * Syntax: privlx <command> - Get privileges and run command unprivlx <command> - Drop privileges and run command * Config: Add commands you want to allow users to run as root in /etc/privlx/commands.conf, one per line. Example (/etc/privlx/commands.conf): poweroff reboot pm-hibernate pm-powersave pm-suspend-hybrid pm-suspend Allow the user to access power management tools. Be warned, poweroff and reboot let the user break the system. It is best to make a wrapper script, to only allow defined behavior. * BUILDING * Configuration: Before compiling or installing, you may set these environment variables, either in a shell, or inside of ./env: - CC: Your C compiler (default: cc) - CFLAGS: Compilation flags (default: none) - APP_NAME: What the app is called. This is used for naming the binaries and outputting errors (default: privlx) - APP_BIN: Where the app's binaries are stored (default: /usr/local/bin) - APP_CONF: Where the app's configuration files are stored (default: /etc/$APP_NAME) * Compilation: Run ./compile You need a C compiler, and standard libraries * Installation: Run ./install as root
