Installs sudo and configures /etc/sudoers
cookbook 'sudo', '= 2.7.1', :supermarket
knife supermarket install sudo
knife supermarket download sudo
sudo cookbook
The Chef sudo
cookbook installs the sudo
package and configures the /etc/sudoers
file.
It also exposes an LWRP for adding and managing sudoers.
Requirements
The platform has a package named sudo
and the sudoers
file is /etc/sudoers
.
Attributes
-
node['authorization']['sudo']['groups']
- groups to enable sudo access (default:[ "sysadmin" ]
) -
node['authorization']['sudo']['users']
- users to enable sudo access (default:[]
) -
node['authorization']['sudo']['passwordless']
- use passwordless sudo (default:false
) -
node['authorization']['sudo']['include_sudoers_d']
- include and manager/etc/sudoers.d
(default:false
) -
node['authorization']['sudo']['agent_forwarding']
- preserveSSH_AUTH_SOCK
when sudoing (default:false
) -
node['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults']
- Array ofDefaults
entries to configure in/etc/sudoers
Usage
Attributes
To use attributes for defining sudoers, set the attributes above on the node (or role) itself:
{ "default_attributes": { "authorization": { "sudo": { "groups": ["admin", "wheel", "sysadmin"], "users": ["jerry", "greg"], "passwordless": "true" } } } }
# roles/example.rb default_attributes( "authorization" => { "sudo" => { "groups" => ["admin", "wheel", "sysadmin"], "users" => ["jerry", "greg"], "passwordless" => true } } )
Note that the template for the sudoers file has the group "sysadmin" with ALL:ALL permission, though the group by default does not exist.
Sudoers Defaults
Configure a node attribute,
node['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults']
as an array of
Defaults
entries to configure in /etc/sudoers
. A list of examples
for common platforms is listed below:
Debian
ruby
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = ['env_reset']
Ubuntu 10.04
ruby
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = ['env_reset']
Ubuntu 12.04
ruby
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [
'env_reset',
'secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"'
]
FreeBSD
ruby
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [
'env_reset',
'secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"'
]
RHEL family 5.x
The version of sudo in RHEL 5 may not support +=
, as used in env_keep
, so its a single string.
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [ '!visiblepw', 'env_reset', 'env_keep = "COLORS DISPLAY HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC KDEDIR \ LS_COLORS MAIL PS1 PS2 QTDIR USERNAME \ LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION \ LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC \ LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS \ _XKB_CHARSET XAUTHORITY"' ]
RHEL family 6.x
ruby
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [
'!visiblepw',
'env_reset',
'env_keep = "COLORS DISPLAY HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC KDEDIR LS_COLORS"',
'env_keep += "MAIL PS1 PS2 QTDIR USERNAME LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE"',
'env_keep += "LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES"',
'env_keep += "LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE"',
'env_keep += "LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS _XKB_CHARSET XAUTHORITY"',
'env_keep += "HOME"',
'always_set_home',
'secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin'
]
Mac OS X
ruby
node.default['authorization']['sudo']['sudoers_defaults'] = [
'env_reset',
'env_keep += "BLOCKSIZE"',
'env_keep += "COLORFGBG COLORTERM"',
'env_keep += "__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING"',
'env_keep += "CHARSET LANG LANGUAGE LC_ALL LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE"',
'env_keep += "LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME"',
'env_keep += "LINES COLUMNS"',
'env_keep += "LSCOLORS"',
'env_keep += "TZ"',
'env_keep += "DISPLAY XAUTHORIZATION XAUTHORITY"',
'env_keep += "EDITOR VISUAL"',
'env_keep += "HOME MAIL"'
]
LWRP
Note Sudo version 1.7.2 or newer is required to use the sudo LWRP as it relies on the "#includedir" directive introduced in version 1.7.2. The recipe does not enforce installing the version. To use this LWRP, set node['authorization']['sudo']['include_sudoers_d']
to true
.
There are two ways for rendering a sudoer-fragment using this LWRP:
- Using the built-in template
- Using a custom, cookbook-level template
Both methods will create the /etc/sudoers.d/#{username}
file with the correct permissions.
The LWRP also performs fragment validation. If a sudoer-fragment is not valid, the Chef run will throw an exception and fail. This ensures that your sudoers file is always valid and cannot become corrupt (from this cookbook).
Example using the built-in template:
sudo 'tomcat' do user "%tomcat" # or a username runas 'app_user' # or 'app_user:tomcat' commands ['/etc/init.d/tomcat restart'] end
sudo 'tomcat' do template 'my_tomcat.erb' # local cookbook template variables :cmds => ['/etc/init.d/tomcat restart'] end
In either case, the following file would be generated in /etc/sudoers.d/tomcat
# This file is managed by Chef for node.example.com # Do NOT modify this file directly. %tomcat ALL=(app_user) /etc/init.d/tomcat restart
