NAME
sudo_logsrvd.conf - configuration for sudo_logsrvd
DESCRIPTION
The sudo_logsrvd.conf file is used to configure the sudo_logsrvd log
server. It uses an INI-style format made up of sections in square
brackets and "key = value" pairs specific to each section below the
section name. Depending on the key, values may be integers, booleans, or
strings. Section and key names are not case sensitive, but values are.
The pound sign (`#') is used to indicate a comment. Both the comment
character and any text after it, up to the end of the line, are ignored.
Lines beginning with a semi-colon (`;') are also ignored.
Long lines can be continued with a backslash (`\') as the last character
on the line. Leading white space is removed from the beginning of lines
even when the continuation character is used.
The EXAMPLES section contains a copy of the default sudo_logsrvd.conf
file.
The following configuration sections are recognized:
o server
o relay
o iolog
o eventlog
o syslog
o logfile
Each section is described in detail below.
server
The server section configures the address and port the server will listen
on. The following keys are recognized:
listen_address = host[:port][(tls)]
The host name or IP address, optional port to listen on and an
optional Transport Layer Security (TLS) flag in parentheses.
The host may be a host name, an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address in
square brackets or the wild card entry `*'. A host setting of `*'
will cause sudo_logsrvd to listen on all configured network
interfaces.
If the optional tls flag is present, sudo_logsrvd will secure the
connection with TLS version 1.2 or 1.3. Versions of TLS prior to
1.2 are not supported. See sudo_logsrvd(8) for details on
generating TLS keys and certificates.
If a port is specified, it may either be a port number or a known
service name as defined by the system service name database. If no
port is specified, port 30343 will be used for plaintext
connections and port 30344 will be used for TLS connections.
The default value is:
listen_address = *:30343
are none, stderr, syslog, or a path name beginning with the `/'
character. A value of stderr is only effective when used in
conjunction with the -n option. The default value is syslog.
pid_file = path
The path to the file containing the process ID of the running
sudo_logsrvd. If set to an empty value, or if sudo_logsrvd is run
with the -n option, no pid_file will be created. If pid_file
refers to a symbolic link, it will be ignored. The default value
is /var/run/sudo/sudo_logsrvd.pid.
tcp_keepalive = boolean
If true, sudo_logsrvd will enable the TCP keepalive socket option
on the client connection. This enables the periodic transmission
of keepalive messages to the client. If the client does not
respond to a message in time, the connection will be closed.
Defaults to true.
timeout = number
The amount of time, in seconds, sudo_logsrvd will wait for the
client to respond. A value of 0 will disable the timeout. The
default value is 30.
tls_cacert = path
The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM format, to
use instead of the system's default certificate authority database
when authenticating clients. The default is to use
/etc/ssl/sudo/cacert.pem if it exists, otherwise the system's
default certificate authority database is used.
tls_cert = path
The path to the server's certificate file, in PEM format. The
default value is /etc/ssl/sudo/certs/logsrvd_cert.pem.
tls_checkpeer = bool
If true, client certificates will be validated by sudo_logsrvd;
clients without a valid certificate will be unable to connect. If
false, no validation of client certificates will be performed. It
true and client certificates are created using a private
certificate authority, the tls_cacert setting must be set to a CA
bundle that contains the CA certificate used to generate the client
certificate. The default value is false.
tls_ciphers_v12 = string
A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.2
only, separated by a colon `:'. See the CIPHER LIST FORMAT section
in openssl-ciphers(1) for full details. The default value is
"HIGH:!aNULL" which consists of encryption cipher suites with key
lengths larger than 128 bits, and some cipher suites with 128-bit
keys. Cipher suites that offer no authentication are excluded.
tls_ciphers_v13 = string
A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.3
only, separated by a colon `:'. Supported cipher suites depend on
the version of OpenSSL used, but should include the following:
TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
PEM format. This file can be created with the following command:
openssl dhparam -out /etc/sudo_logsrvd_dhparams.pem 2048
By default, sudo_logsrvd will use the OpenSSL defaults for Diffie-
Hellman key generation.
tls_key = path
The path to the server's private key file, in PEM format. The
default value is /etc/ssl/sudo/private/logsrvd_key.pem.
tls_verify = bool
If true, sudo_logsrvd will validate its own certificate at startup
time or when the configuration is changed. If false, no
verification is performed of the server certificate. When using
self-signed certificates without a certificate authority, this
setting should be set to false. The default value is true.
relay
The relay section configures the optional logsrv relay host and port the
server will connect to. The TLS configuration keys are optional, by
default the corresponding keys in the server section will be used. They
are only present in this section to make it possible for the relay
connection to use a different set of TLS parameters from the client-
facing server. The following keys are recognized:
connect_timeout = number
The amount of time, in seconds, sudo_logsrvd will wait for the
connection to a relay_host (see below) to complete. Once the
connection is complete, the timeout setting controls the amount of
time sudo_logsrvd will wait for the relay to respond. A value of 0
will disable the timeout. The default value is 30.
relay_dir = path
The directory in which log messages are temporarily stored before
they are sent to the relay host. Messages are stored in the wire
format specified by sudo_logsrv.proto(5) The default value is
/var/log/sudo_logsrvd.
relay_host = host[:port][(tls)]
The relay host name or IP address, optional port to connect to and
an optional Transport Layer Security (TLS) flag in parentheses.
The syntax is identical to listen_address in the server section
with one exception: the wild card `*' syntax is not supported.
When this setting is enabled, messages from the client will be
forwarded to one of the specified relay hosts instead of being
stored locally. The host could be running an instance of
sudo_logsrvd or another server that supports the
sudo_logsrv.proto(5) protocol.
If multiple relay_host lines are specified, the first available
relay host will be used.
retry_interval = number
The number of seconds to wait after a connection error before
making a new attempt to forward a message to a relay host. The
default value is 30.
tcp_keepalive = boolean
If true, sudo_logsrvd will enable the TCP keepalive socket option
on the relay connection. This enables the periodic transmission of
keepalive messages to the relay server. If the relay does not
respond to a message in time, the connection will be closed.
timeout = number
The amount of time, in seconds, sudo_logsrvd will wait for the
relay server to respond after a connection has succeeded. A value
of 0 will disable the timeout. The default value is 30.
tls_cacert = path
The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM format, to
use instead of the system's default certificate authority database
when authenticating clients. The default is to use the value
specified in the server section, or the system's default
certificate authority database if no value is set.
tls_cert = path
The path to the server's certificate file, in PEM format. The
default is to use the value specified in the server section.
tls_checkpeer = bool
If true, the relay host's certificate will be validated by
sudo_logsrvd; connections to a relay without a valid certificate
will fail. If false, no validation of relay certificates will be
performed. It true and relay certificates are created using a
private certificate authority, the tls_cacert setting must be set
to a CA bundle that contains the CA certificate used to generate
the relay certificate. The default is to use the value specified
in the server section.
tls_ciphers_v12 = string
A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.2
only, separated by a colon `:'. See the CIPHER LIST FORMAT section
in openssl-ciphers(1) for full details. The default is to use the
value specified in the server section.
tls_ciphers_v13 = string
A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.3
only, separated by a colon `:'. Supported cipher suites depend on
the version of OpenSSL used, see the server section for more
information. The default is to use the value specified in the
server section.
tls_dhparams = path
The path to a file containing custom Diffie-Hellman parameters in
PEM format. The default is to use the value specified in the
server section.
tls_key = path
The path to the server's private key file, in PEM format. The
default is to use the value specified in the server section.
tls_verify = bool
If true, the server's certificate used for relaying will be
verified at startup. If false, no verification is performed of the
server certificate. When using self-signed certificates without a
certificate authority, this setting should be set to false. The
iolog_compress = boolean
If set, I/O logs will be compressed using zlib. Enabling
compression can make it harder to view the logs in real-time as the
program is executing due to buffering. The default value is false.
iolog_dir = path
The top-level directory to use when constructing the path name for
the I/O log directory. The session sequence number, if any, is
stored in the directory. The default value is /var/log/sudo-io.
The following percent (`%') escape sequences are supported:
%{seq}
expanded to a monotonically increasing base-36 sequence
number, such as 0100A5, where every two digits are used to
form a new directory, e.g., 01/00/A5
%{user}
expanded to the invoking user's login name
%{group}
expanded to the name of the invoking user's real group-ID
%{runas_user}
expanded to the login name of the user the command will be
run as (e.g., root)
%{runas_group}
expanded to the group name of the user the command will be
run as (e.g., wheel)
%{hostname}
expanded to the local host name without the domain name
%{command}
expanded to the base name of the command being run
In addition, any escape sequences supported by the system's
strftime(3) function will be expanded.
To include a literal `%' character, the string `%%' should be used.
iolog_file = path
The path name, relative to iolog_dir, in which to store I/O logs.
It is possible for iolog_file to contain directory components. The
default value is "%{seq}".
See the iolog_dir setting above for a list of supported percent
(`%') escape sequences.
In addition to the escape sequences, path names that end in six or
more Xs will have the Xs replaced with a unique combination of
digits and letters, similar to the mktemp(3) function.
If the path created by concatenating iolog_dir and iolog_file
already exists, the existing I/O log file will be truncated and
overwritten unless iolog_file ends in six or more Xs.
iolog_flush = boolean
iolog_group = name
The group name to look up when setting the group-ID on new I/O log
files and directories. If iolog_group is not set, the primary
group-ID of the user specified by iolog_user is used. If neither
iolog_group nor iolog_user are set, I/O log files and directories
are created with group-ID 0.
iolog_mode = mode
The file mode to use when creating I/O log files. Mode bits for
read and write permissions for owner, group, or other are honored,
everything else is ignored. The file permissions will always
include the owner read and write bits, even if they are not present
in the specified mode. When creating I/O log directories, search
(execute) bits are added to match the read and write bits specified
by iolog_mode. The default value is 0600.
iolog_user = name
The user name to look up when setting the owner of new I/O log
files and directories. If iolog_group is set, it will be used
instead of the user's primary group-ID. By default, I/O log files
and directories are created with user and group-ID 0.
log_passwords = bool
Most programs that require a user's password will disable echo
before reading the password to avoid displaying the plaintext
password on the screen. However, if terminal input is being
logged, the password will still be present in the I/O log. If
log_passwords is set to false, sudo_logsrvd will attempt to prevent
passwords from being logged. It does this by using the regular
expressions in passprompt_regex to match a password prompt in the
terminal output buffer. When a match is found, input characters in
the I/O log will be replaced with `*' until either a line feed or
carriage return is found in the terminal input or a new terminal
output buffer is received. If, however, a program displays
characters as the user types them (such as sudo when the pwfeedback
option is set), only the first character of the password will be
replaced in the I/O log. The default value is true.
maxseq = number
The maximum sequence number that will be substituted for the
"%{seq}" escape in the I/O log file (see the iolog_dir description
above for more information). While the value substituted for
"%{seq}" is in base 36, maxseq itself should be expressed in
decimal. Values larger than 2176782336 (which corresponds to the
base 36 sequence number "ZZZZZZ") will be silently truncated to
2176782336. The default value is 2176782336.
passprompt_regex = string
One or more POSIX extended regular expressions used to match
password prompts in the terminal output when log_passwords is
disabled. As an extension, if the regular expression begins with
"(?i)", it will be matched in a case-insensitive manner. Multiple
passprompt_regex settings may be specified. Each regular
expression is limited to 1024 characters. The default value is
"[Pp]assword[: ]*".
eventlog
The eventlog section configures how (and if) security policy events are
logged.
If true, sudo_logsrvd will log an event when a command exits or is
terminated by a signal. Defaults to false.
log_format = string
The event log format. Supported log formats are "sudo" for
traditional sudo-style logs and "json" for JSON-format logs. The
JSON log entries contain the full contents of the accept, reject,
exit and alert messages. The default value is sudo.
syslog
The syslog section configures how events are logged via syslog(3).
facility = string
Syslog facility if syslog is being used for logging. Defaults to
authpriv.
The following syslog facilities are supported: authpriv (if your OS
supports it), auth, daemon, user, local0, local1, local2, local3,
local4, local5, local6, and local7.
accept_priority = string
Syslog priority to use when the user is allowed to run a command
and authentication is successful. Defaults to notice.
The following syslog priorities are supported: alert, crit, debug,
emerg, err, info, notice, warning, and none. Setting it to a value
of none will disable logging of successful commands.
reject_priority = string
Syslog priority to use when the user is not allowed to run a
command or when authentication is unsuccessful. Defaults to alert.
See accept_priority for the list of supported syslog priorities.
alert_priority = string
Syslog priority to use for event log alert messages received from
the client. Defaults to alert.
See accept_priority for the list of supported syslog priorities.
maxlen = number
On many systems, syslog(3) has a relatively small log buffer. IETF
RFC 5424 states that syslog servers must support messages of at
least 480 bytes and should support messages up to 2048 bytes. By
default, sudo_logsrvd creates log messages up to 960 bytes which
corresponds to the historic BSD syslog implementation which used a
1024 byte buffer to store the message, date, hostname, and program
name.
To prevent syslog messages from being truncated, sudo_logsrvd will
split up sudo-style log messages that are larger than maxlen bytes.
When a message is split, additional parts will include the string
"(command continued)" after the user name and before the continued
command line arguments. JSON-format log entries are never split
and are not affected by maxlen.
server_facility = string
Syslog facility if syslog is being used for server warning
messages. See above for a list of supported facilities. Defaults
The path to the file-based event log. This path must be fully-
qualified and start with a `/' character. The default value is
/var/log/sudo.log.
time_format = string
The string used when formatting the date and time for file-based
event logs. Formatting is performed via the system's strftime(3)
function so any escape sequences supported by that function will be
expanded. The default value is "%h %e %T" which produces dates
like "Oct 3 07:15:24" in the `C' locale.
