Stdio.Jail (stdio v0.4.5)

Jailed FreeBSD processes

Runs a process in a jail(2).

Privileges

To use this behaviour, the system process supervisor must have root privileges. These privileges are dropped before running the command.

See Stdio.setuid/0.

sysctl(8)

sysctl(8) settings control the behaviour of the jail. For example, to allow ping/traceroute from the jail:

sysctl security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1

See jail(8).

Operations

See Stdio.config/0 for configuration options.

• creates a new session

• sets the process priority [:priority=0]

• puts the process into a jail(2)

• sets resource limits [:rlimit=coredumps disabled]

• sets additional groups [:groups=additional groups removed]

• drops privileges to the value of uid and gid or a high UID system user [:uid/:gid=65536-131071]

• disables the capability to elevate privileges [:setuid=false]
