Public Key sudo
6:30pm, Suspenders Restaurant
http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php
Two tools which have become the norm in Linux- and Unix-based
environments are SSH for secure communications, and sudo for performing
administrative tasks. These are independent programs with substantially
different purposes, but they are often used in conjunction. In this
talk, I describe a flaw in their interaction, and then present our
solution called public-key sudo.
Public-key sudo is an extension to the sudo authentication mechanism
which allows for public key authentication using the SSH public key
framework. I describe our implementation of a generic SSH authentication
module and the sudo modifications required to use this module.
