New Revision: 336525
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/336525

Log:
  Make it possible to run ntpd as a non-root user, add ntpd uid and gid.
  
  Code analysis and runtime analysis using truss(8) indicate that the only
  privileged operations performed by ntpd are adjusting system time, and
  (re-)binding to privileged UDP port 123. These changes add a new mac(4)
  policy module, mac_ntpd(4), which grants just those privileges to any
  process running with uid 123.
  
  This also adds a new user and group, ntpd:ntpd, (uid:gid 123:123), and makes
  them the owner of the /var/db/ntp directory, so that it can be used as a
  location where the non-privileged daemon can write files such as the
  driftfile, and any optional logfile or stats files.
  
  Because there are so many ways to configure ntpd, the question of how to
  configure it to run without root privs can be a bit complex, so that will be
  addressed in a separate commit. These changes are just what's required to
  grant the limited subset of privs to ntpd, and the small change to ntpd to
  prevent it from exiting with an error if running as non-root.

+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mac_ntpd
+.Nd "policy allowing ntpd to run as non-root user"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile the ntpd policy into your kernel, place the following lines
+in your kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options MAC"
+.Cd "options MAC_NTPD"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternately, to load the ntpd policy module at boot time,
+place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "options MAC"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+and in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Pp
+.Dl "mac_ntpd_load=""YES"""
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+policy grants any process running as user
+.Sq ntpd
+(uid 123) the privileges needed to manipulate
+system time, and to (re-)bind to the privileged NTP port.
+.Pp
+When
+.Xr ntpd 8
+is started with
+.Sq -u\ <user>
+on the command line, it performs all initializations requiring root
+privileges, then drops root privileges by switching to the given user id.
+From that point on, the only privileges it requires are the ability
+to manipulate system time, and the ability to re-bind a UDP socket
+to the NTP port (port 123) after a network interface change.
+By default,
+.Fx
+starts
+.Xr ntpd 8
+with
+.Sq -u\ ntpd:ntpd
+on the command line, if the mac_ntpd policy is available to grant
+the required privileges.
+.Pp
+.Ss Privileges Granted
+The exact set of kernel privileges granted to any process running
+with the configured uid is:
+.Bl -inset -compact -offset indent
+.It PRIV_ADJTIME
+.It PRIV_CLOCK_SETTIME
+.It PRIV_NTP_ADJTIME
+.It PRIV_NETINET_RESERVEDPORT
+.It PRIV_NETINET_REUSEPORT
+.El
+.Pp
+.Ss Runtime Configuration
+The following
+.Xr sysctl 8
+MIBs are available for fine-tuning this MAC policy.
+All
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variables can also be set as
+.Xr loader 8
+tunables in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 .
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Va security.mac.ntpd.enabled
+Enable the
+.Nm
+policy.
+(Default: 1).
+.It Va security.mac.ntpd.uid
+The numeric uid of the ntpd user.
+(Default: 123).
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mac 4 ,
+.Xr ntpd 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+MAC first appeared in
+.Fx 5.0
+and
+.Nm
+first appeared in
+.Fx 12.0 .
