|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <unistd.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <nfs/nfs.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn nfssvc "int flags" "void *argstructp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
function is used by the NFS daemons to pass information into and out
|
|
of the kernel and also to enter the kernel as a server daemon.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument consists of several bits that show what action is to be taken
|
|
once in the kernel and the
|
|
.Fa argstructp
|
|
points to one of three structures depending on which bits are set in
|
|
flags.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On the client side,
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
is only used for
|
|
.Nm NQNFS .
|
|
.Xr mount_nfs 8
|
|
calls
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
with the
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_MNTD
|
|
flag, optionally or'd with the flags
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_GOTAUTH
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_AUTHINFAIL
|
|
along with a pointer to a
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct nfsd_cargs {
|
|
char *ncd_dirp; /* Mount dir path */
|
|
uid_t ncd_authuid; /* Effective uid */
|
|
int ncd_authtype; /* Type of authenticator */
|
|
int ncd_authlen; /* Length of authenticator string */
|
|
char *ncd_authstr; /* Authenticator string */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.sp
|
|
structure.
|
|
The initial call has only the
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_MNTD
|
|
flag set to specify service for the mount point.
|
|
If the mount point is using Kerberos, then the
|
|
.Xr mount_nfs 8
|
|
daemon will return from
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
with errno ==
|
|
.Er ENEEDAUTH
|
|
whenever the client side requires an ``rcmd''
|
|
authentication ticket for the user.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr mount_nfs 8
|
|
program will attempt to get the Kerberos ticket, and if successful will call
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
with the flags
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_MNTD
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_GOTAUTH
|
|
after filling the ticket into the
|
|
ncd_authstr field
|
|
and
|
|
setting the ncd_authlen and ncd_authtype
|
|
fields of the nfsd_cargs structure.
|
|
If
|
|
.Xr mount_nfs 8
|
|
failed to get the ticket,
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
will be called with the flags
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_MNTD ,
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_GOTAUTH
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_AUTHINFAIL
|
|
to denote a failed authentication attempt.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On the server side,
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
is called with the flag
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_NFSD
|
|
and a pointer to a
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct nfsd_srvargs {
|
|
struct nfsd *nsd_nfsd; /* Pointer to in kernel nfsd struct */
|
|
uid_t nsd_uid; /* Effective uid mapped to cred */
|
|
u_long nsd_haddr; /* Ip address of client */
|
|
struct ucred nsd_cr; /* Cred. uid maps to */
|
|
int nsd_authlen; /* Length of auth string (ret) */
|
|
char *nsd_authstr; /* Auth string (ret) */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.sp
|
|
to enter the kernel as an
|
|
.Xr nfsd 8
|
|
daemon.
|
|
Whenever an
|
|
.Xr nfsd 8
|
|
daemon receives a Kerberos authentication ticket, it will return from
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
with errno ==
|
|
.Er ENEEDAUTH .
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr nfsd 8
|
|
will attempt to authenticate the ticket and generate a set of credentials
|
|
on the server for the ``user id'' specified in the field nsd_uid.
|
|
This is done by first authenticating the Kerberos ticket and then mapping
|
|
the Kerberos principal to a local name and getting a set of credentials for
|
|
that user via.
|
|
.Xr getpwnam 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr getgrouplist 3 .
|
|
If successful, the
|
|
.Xr nfsd 8
|
|
will call
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
with the
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_NFSD
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_AUTHIN
|
|
flags set to pass the credential mapping in nsd_cr into the
|
|
kernel to be cached on the server socket for that client.
|
|
If the authentication failed,
|
|
.Xr nfsd 8
|
|
calls
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
with the flags
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_NFSD
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_AUTHINFAIL
|
|
to denote an authentication failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The master
|
|
.Xr nfsd 8
|
|
server daemon calls
|
|
.Fn nfssvc
|
|
with the flag
|
|
.Dv NFSSVC_ADDSOCK
|
|
and a pointer to a
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct nfsd_args {
|
|
int sock; /* Socket to serve */
|
|
caddr_t name; /* Client address for connection based sockets */
|
|
int namelen; /* Length of name */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.sp
|
|
to pass a server side
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
socket into the kernel for servicing by the
|
|
.Xr nfsd 8
|
|
daemons.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Normally
|
|
.Nm nfssvc
|
|
does not return unless the server
|
|
is terminated by a signal when a value of 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to specify the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENEEDAUTH
|
|
This special error value
|
|
is really used for authentication support, particularly Kerberos,
|
|
as explained above.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The caller is not the super-user.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm nfssvc
|
|
function first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm nfssvc
|
|
system call is designed specifically for the
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
support daemons and as such is specific to their requirements.
|
|
It should really return values to indicate the need for authentication
|
|
support, since
|
|
.Er ENEEDAUTH
|
|
is not really an error.
|
|
Several fields of the argument structures are assumed to be valid and
|
|
sometimes to be unchanged from a previous call, such that
|
|
.Nm nfssvc
|
|
must be used with extreme care.
