12Description: privsep utilities collection
13 Several small userv services, which allow certain system configuration
14 actions to be delegated. In each case the service is disabled unless
15 enabled by symlink /etc/userv/services.d/* -> ../services-available/*.
16 .
17 ipif - allow non-root users to create network interfaces
18 mailq - allow users to view the mail queue
19 ndc-reload - allow certain users to reload the nameserver
20 checkpasswd-* - allow users to run a UNIX password check

26Description: dynamic DNS for shell account users
27 userv-dyndns is a userv service which allows non-root users to
28 modify individual DNS records in specified zones in a controlled way.
29 .
30 Typically, this can be used to provide a `dyndns.org'-like service
31 which is modifiable by shell account users.
32 .
33 The default configuration creates the infrastructure (including a
34 service user) but does not allow any users to modify the DNS.

40Description: user-provided CGI scripts invoked by userv
41 This package contains ucgi, a userv service which allows CGI programs
42 to be provided which do not run as the webserver user, but instead
43 are owned by a particular other account.
44 .
45 Similar effects can be achieved with Apache's suexec; this package is
46 for administrators who do not trust suexec and wish to defend the
47 webserver from the CGI script providers, and vice versa, as much as
48 possible. This is achieved by using userv to do the cross-account
49 call, rather than a custom setuid helper.
50 .
51 The default configuration allows the webserver user to invoke users'
52 CGI programs from each user's ~/public-cgi, but to allow external
53 callers to do this, the webserver will also need to be configured.

55Package: userv-groupmanage
56Architecture: all
57Depends: userv, ${perl:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
58Description: user-controlled group membership
59 groupmanage is a userv service which allows individual shell users to
60 create UN*X groups, and/or to change the membership of existing
61 groups of which they are recorded as the manager.
62 .
63 The default configuration allows users to create and manage a few
64 groups, but is reasonably conservative.

66Package: userv-git-daemon
67Architecture: all
68Depends: userv, git-core, adduser, ${perl:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
69Description: per-user git daemon service
70 userv-git-daemon allows users to publish git repositories which will
71 be published via the git protocol on 9418. This is a bit like
72 git-daemon except that the actual reading of each user's repositories
73 is done as that user.
74 .
75 The default configuration does nothing: you must (a) manually copy
76 the line from /usr/share/doc/examples/userv-git-daemon.inetd into
77 /etc/inetd.conf and (b) specifically list hostnames and target
78 directories in /etc/userv/git-urlmap.
