.Dt JAIL 2
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm jail
|
|
.Nd imprison current process and future decendants
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/jail.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn jail "struct jail *jail"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
system call sets up a jail and locks the current process in it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument is a pointer to a structure describing the prison:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct jail {
|
|
u_int32_t version;
|
|
char *path;
|
|
char *hostname;
|
|
u_int32_t ip_number;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq Li version
|
|
defines the version of the API in use. It should be set to zero at this time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq Li path
|
|
pointer should be set to the directory which is to be the root of the
|
|
prison.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq Li hostname
|
|
pointer can be set to the hostname of the prison. This can be changed
|
|
from the inside of the prison.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq Li ip_number
|
|
can be set to the IP number assigned to the prison.
|
|
.Sh PRISON?
|
|
Once a process has been put in a prison, it and its decendants cannot escape
|
|
the prison. It is not possible to add a process to a preexisting prison.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Inside the prison, the concept of "superuser" is very diluted. In general,
|
|
it can be assumed that nothing can be mangled from inside a prison which
|
|
does not exist entirely inside that prison. For instance the directory
|
|
tree below
|
|
.Dq Li path
|
|
can be manipulated all the ways a root can normally do it, including
|
|
.Dq Li "rm -rf /*"
|
|
but new device special nodes cannot be created because they reference
|
|
shared resources (the device drivers in the kernel).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All IP activity will be forced to happen to/from the IP number specified,
|
|
which should be an alias on one of the network interfaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible to identify a process as jailed by examining
|
|
.Dq Li /proc/<pid>/status :
|
|
it will show a field near the end of the line, either as
|
|
a single hyphen for a process at large, or the hostname currently
|
|
set for the prison for jailed processes.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn jail
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The version number of the argument is not correct.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Further
|
|
.Fn jail
|
|
calls
|
|
.Xr chroot 2
|
|
internally, so it can fail for all the same reasons.
|
|
Please consult the
|
|
.Xr chroot 2
|
|
manual page for details.
