libuuid-user

Set a non-login shell for the libuuid user on Ubuntu/Debian and validate that it is correct.

This cookbook serves two purposes.

Remediate the issue reported in Ubuntu and Debian regarding the libuuid user missing a shell that disables login.
Provide examples that show the difference between Chef's audit mode (which uses Serverspec), and "regular" Serverspec.

Usage

Include recipe[libuuid-user] on any nodes that need to have this user updated to ensure that the shell is set correctly.

Include recipe[libuuid-user::verify] on any node where audit mode should be used to verify that the libuuid user's shell is set correctly.

The verify recipe can be used independently on nodes with audit mode set to :audit_only (chef-client --audit-mode audit_only) to check for non-compliant systems before using the default recipe.

Audit Mode

Use the default and verify recipes and run audit mode with :enabled. The test validates that the policy is correct:

The libuuid user should have its shell set to /bin/false

The control has a single test that the user's shell is set to /bin/false, as that is the defined policy. We use /bin/false instead of /usr/sbin/nologin because in Ubuntu 15.04 or Debian 8 and newer releases, the user is set to use /bin/false as the shell.

Serverspec

Use test kitchen from this cookbook's repository with kitchen test or kitchen verify to run the default and verify recipes and run the tests with Serverspec.

The test verifies that the root user cannot su to the libuuid user - the su command will return exit status 1 when attempting to log in with a user that has their shell set to /bin/false. This is subtley different than the audit mode test, as the implementation of the shell is not the important part to test. It's the inability to login that is most relevant. If the shell were set to /usr/sbin/nologin, for example, it would still exit with a status of 1.

Requirements

Chef 12.1.0+

Ubuntu 14.04 or Debian 7.8.

Debian 8+ is not affected. It appears that Ubuntu 15.04 is not affected either.

Other platforms are not supported. Older versions of Ubuntu or Debian may work with or without modification.
