All,

I am sponsoring this project for Darren Kenny from the Desktop
group in Dublin, Ireland.  The case materials contains the
attached proposal.  I have set the timer for Monday, August 4th,
2008.

This project requests a Minor release binding of Solaris.  It
implements and enhances the support for WiFi information in the
GNOME Netstatus Applet.  It introduces a helper application to
obtain the desired additional information.  The helper application
uses RBAC to obtain the appropriate authorization for the console
user only.  This is a temporary solution and the project team is
working with other teams toward the final solution which will
not be ready for the next release of Open Solaris.

Thanks,

John

2. Project Summary
   2.1. Project Description:

        The main aim of this project is to implement and enhance the support for
        WiFi information in the GNOME Netstatus Applet.  At the moment signal
        strength information is only provided on Linux. 

        The applet will also be changed to start by default on initial login.
        
   2.2. Risks and Assumptions:

        The assumption is that RFE#6695904 will not be completed in time for
        delivery into OpenSolaris 2008.11, should this change then this project
        will switch to using this mechanism for gathering status.

3. Business Summary

   3.1. Problem Area:
        
        The aim is to resolve the lack of information about the status of the network
        interfaces. 

   3.2. Market/Requester:

        OpenSolaris community.

4. Technical Description:

    4.1. Details:

        The problem is that on OpenSolaris wireless information is only
        available via a set of ioctl() calls on the network device, which
        requires the NET_RAWACCESS privilege. 

        RFE#6695904 is in progress to resolve this need for read-only
        information, but this is likely to not be available in time for the
        OpenSolaris 2008.11 release.

        As an interim solution to this I propose to use a helper application
        that will be called by the applet to gather the needed information. It
        will be launched by the applet and run continuously for the life of the
        applet process, taking stdin from the applet and providing the
        information on stdout.

        RBAC will be used to create a profile that allows only the console user
        to run with the extra privileges, more information on this is in the
        Security section below.

    4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):
    
    4.3. In Scope:

        Providing the applet by default on initial login.

    4.4. Out of Scope:
        
        Automatically adding applet to existing user's panel.
    
    4.5. Interfaces:
    
        Exported interfaces are Private or Volatile due to the interim nature 
        of the use of the helper application which will be removed once 
        RFE#6695904 is implemented.

        Changes will be delivered in the existing packages:

                SUNWgnome-intranet-applets
                SUNWgnome-intranet-applets-root
    
    4.11. Security Impact:

        RBAC will be used to create a profile that allows only the console user
        to gain the new "Network Wifi Info" profile by adding this profile to
        the "Console User" profile. The "Network Wifi Info" entry in exec_attr
        The helper application will run with only the NET_RAWACCESS privilege.

        The entry in /etc/security/exec_attr will be:

        Network Wifi Info:solaris:cmd:::/usr/lib/gnome-netstatus-wifi-info:\
        privs=net_rawaccess;limitprivs=net_rawaccess,!proc_session,!proc_fork,\
        !proc_exec,!proc_info,!file_link_any

        This will allow the helper application to executed using pfexec with
        only the NET_RAWACCESS privilege.

        The "Network Wifi Info" profile will be added to the existing 
        "Console User" profiles.
    
        Since this will configured by default to only be present for the console
        user, then if a non-console-user runs the helper they will not see the
        WiFi information but will continue to see things as they are now.

This looks like a very good compromise solution and I believe the chosen 
taxonomies are appropriate here.

The RBAC exec_attr entry says /usr/lib/gnome-netstatus-wifi-into but the 
interface table says /usr/lib/gnome-netstatus-wifi which is it ?

Also on the interface table which form of "Private"?   I suspect 
Consolidation Private but Project Private might be appropriate too.
