42 .Fn setclassresources "login_cap_t *lc"
44 .Fn setclassenvironment "login_cap_t *lc" "const struct passwd *pwd" "int paths"
46 These functions provide a higher level interface to the login class
47 database than those documented in
49 These functions are used to set resource limits, environment and
50 accounting settings for users on logging into the system and when
51 selecting an appropriate set of environment and resource settings
52 for system daemons based on login classes.
53 These functions may only be called if the current process is
54 running with root privileges.
55 If the LOGIN_SETLOGIN flag is used this function calls
57 and due care must be taken as detailed in the manpage for that
58 function and this affects all processes running in the same session
59 and not just the current process.
62 sets various class context values (resource limits, umask and
63 process priorities) based on values for a specific named class.
67 sets class context values based on a given login_cap_t
68 object, a specific passwd record (if login_cap_t is NULL),
69 sets the current session's login and the current process
70 user and group ownership.
71 Each of these functions is selectable via bit-flags passed
74 parameter, which is comprised of one or more of the following:
75 .Bl -tag -width LOGIN_SETRESOURCES
77 Set the login associated with the current session to the user
78 specified in the passwd structure.
82 parameter must not be NULL if this option is used.
84 Set ownership of the current process to the uid specified in the
89 Set group ownership of the current process to the group id
90 specified in the passwd structure using
94 to set up the group access list for the current process.
97 parameter must not be NULL if this option is used.
98 .It LOGIN_SETRESOURCES
99 Set resource limits for the current process based on values
100 specified in the system login class database.
101 Class capability tags used, with and without -cur (soft limit)
102 or -max (hard limit) suffixes and the corresponding resource
106 filesize RLIMIT_FSIZE
108 stacksize RLIMIT_STACK
109 coredumpsize RLIMIT_CORE
111 memorylocked RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
113 openfiles RLIMIT_NOFILE
115 vmemoryuse RLIMIT_VMEM
117 .It LOGIN_SETPRIORITY
118 Set the scheduling priority for the current process based on the
119 value specified in the system login class database.
120 Class capability tags used:
125 Set the umask for the current process to a value in the user or
126 system login class database.
127 Class capability tags used:
132 Set the "path" and "manpath" environment variables based on values
133 in the user or system login class database.
134 Class capability tags used with the corresponding environment
141 Set various environment variables based on values in the user or
142 system login class database.
143 Class capability tags used with the corresponding environment
152 Additional environment variables may be set using the list type
153 capability "setenv=var1 val1,var2 val2..,varN valN".
155 Enables all of the above settings.
158 Note that when setting environment variables and a valid passwd
159 pointer is provided in the
161 parameter, the characters
165 are substituted for the user's home directory and login name
169 .Fn setclassresources
171 .Fn setclassenvironment
172 functions are subsets of the setcontext functions above, but may
173 be useful in isolation.
175 .Fn setclassenvironment
180 return -1 if an error occurred, or 0 on success.
181 If an error occurs when attempting to set the user, login, group
182 or resources, a message is reported to
184 with LOG_ERR priority and directed to the currently active facility.
189 .Fn setclassenvironment
190 failed because it were unable to allocate memory for the environment.
