profilescripts with root rights #14

Closed jolly-jump closed 4 years ago

jolly-jump commented 4 years ago

some people might need root rights to change things within the root-context. I found that session-setup-script of lightdm does not work, so there is no root-context within the user context.

use-case: I wish to chown files to the user when he/she logs in and than, of course do it again, when the next logs in.

workaround so far:

adopt sudoers to allow one script run by sudo
create that script linuxmuster-client/script/login-run-as-root
create a script linuxmuster-client/login.d/99-run-as-root which calls sudo -n -E ...login-run-as-root

REsult:

works for me.
Does not allow for several hook-scripts
not able to call the sourced scripts (write2log) etc.

fixed with 46edd81b9587d204f3cd4d665a4ac4ab9f3fd342 where login-as-root.sh is implemented using pam_exec
