jk_uchroot(8) jk_uchroot jk_uchroot(8) NAME jk_uchroot - grant regular users the right to change root into certain directories SYNOPSIS jk_uchroot -j <jail> -x <executable> DESCRIPTION jk_uchroot can be used to give regular users access to the chroot() system call in a safe way. jk_uchroot will only grant chroot into a jail if the configuration file lists this user and jail combination. jk_uchroot will furthermore only grant access if the chroot jail is safe. Safe means that it is owned by uid 0 gid 0 and not writable for others, including the system directories such as /bin, /lib, /dev/, /sbin, and /usr. jk_uchroot needs certain elevated privileges to make the chroot(2) sys- tem call. Therefore it is setuid root. It will drop its root privileges immediately after making the chroot() system call. Since Jailkit 2.8 jk_uchroot may also use the CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability on systems that support capabilities, and then the setuid bit can be removed. [john] allowed_jails = /srv/johnjail, /srv/commonjail skip_injail_passwd_check = 1 [group users] allowed_jails = /srv/commonjail skip_injail_passwd_check = 1 In the above example jk_uchroot is configured not to check if the user exists in the /etc/passwd file in the jails. FILES /etc/jailkit/jk_uchroot.ini DIAGNOSTICS jk_uchroot logs everything to syslog, please check the log files. Log- ging is sent to the LOG_AUTH facility with levels LOG_ERR and LOG_CRIT for critical errors, LOG_NOTICE for non-critical errors, and LOG_INFO for normal events. On most systems the command grep jk_ /var/log/* will give you the information you need.
