#!/usr/bin/env python """ Author: bnewbold Date: July 2012 License: GPLv3 (see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html) (two helper functions copied from web, as cited below) Package Requirements: python-augeas, bjsonrpc This file implements both ends (privilaged daemon and unprivilaged python client library) of a crude system configuration message bus, intended for use (initially) with the Plinth web interface to the FreedomBox operating system. The goal is to provide partially-untrusted processes (such as the web interface running as the www-data user) access to core system configuration files (through the Augeas library) and daemon control (through the init.d scripts). The daemon process (started in the same startup script as Plinth) runs as root and accepts JSON-RPC method calls through a unix domain socket (/tmp/exmachina.sock by default). Because file access control may not be sufficiently flexible for access control, a somewhat-elaborate secret key mechanism can be used to control access to the RPC mechanism. The (optional) shared secret-key mechanism requires clients to first call the "authenticate" RPC method before any other methods. The secret key is passed to the server process through stdin at startup (command line arguments could be snooped by unprivilaged processes), and would presumably be passed on to the client in the same way. The init_test.sh script demonstrates this mechanism.
