Mod.sources: Volume 3, Issue 99
Submitted by: seismo!mcvax!htsa!jack (Jack Jansen)
[ moderator's note: I have had SEVERAL people send mail indicating
security problems with the original chsh,chfn. This is the only mail
I recieve that contained code fixes. I have not tried to verify that
THIS version is secure - but it appears to be MUCH better than the
original. John Nelson, moderator

: 'This is a shell archive. Run with the real shell,'
: 'not the seashell. It should extract the following:'
: ' READ_ME Makefile chfn.1 chsh.1 chsh.c '
echo x - READ_ME
sed 's/^X//' <<'EndOfFile' >READ_ME
XThis program was originally written by K. Richard Magill,
Xand posted to mod.sources. Since it contained a few
XSYS5 dependencies, a *serious* security bug, and no sanity
Xchecks at all, I decided to hack it up a bit.
X
XIt now checks a given shell for existence and executability (only
Xby looking at the mode, sorry), and it honors the standard
X(as far as I know) algorithm for locking password files.
X
XThe serious security bug was the following: Imagine a user called
Xhacky doing the following:
Xchsh hacky '/bin/sh
Xdummy::0:0::/:'
X
XSo, if you've installed it already, better remove it *fast*.
X
XAlso, some cosmetic changes were made: If no username is given, the
Xcurrent user is assumed, and if no shell/realname is given, the
Xold one is printed, and a new one asked.
X
XINSTALLATION:
X
XFirst, look at the defines at the top in chsh.c. If your system has
Xputpwent(), remove the #define NOPUTPWENT.
X
XSecond, if you don't mind people playing with other people's
Xshells and names, remove the #define SECURE.
X
XThird, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF the #define DEBUG.
X
XI tried this on a mucho hacked up 11/34 running V7, so it is not
Xmore than sensible that you test it before letting it anywhere near
Xthe password file.
X
XNow, compile it, run it a few times (not as super-user), and,
Xwhen you're satisfied, remove the #define DEBUG.
X
XNow you can type make install, to re-compile and install it.
X(Don't forget to look at the Makefile to make sure all
Xpaths are as you would like them).

X.TH CHFN 1 Local
X.SH NAME
Xchfn \- change user's real name
X.SH SYNOPSIS
X.B chfn
X[ user [ realname ] ]
X.SH DESCRIPTION
X.I chfn
Xallows the user to change her real name, as printed by
X.I finger(1)
Xand
X.I who(1).
XIf no
X.B user
Xargument is given, the real name is changed for the person
Xcurrently logged in.
X.PP
XIf no
X.B realname
Xis given, the current name is printed, and a new one is asked.
X.PP
XDepending on choices made by the system administrator, it might
Xor might not be possible to modify someone else's name. The program
Xwill then ask for the correct password first.
X.SH SEE ALSO
Xchsh(1), finger(1), who(1)
X.SH DIAGNOSTICS
XAll kinds of problems with the password file, and locking it,
Xare reported, and the program exits.

X.TH CHSH 1 Local
X.SH NAME
Xchsh \- change login shell
X.SH SYNOPSIS
X.B chsh
X[ user [ shell ] ]
X.SH DESCRIPTION
X.I chsh
Xallows the user to change her login shell.
XIf no
X.B user
Xargument is given, the login shell is changed for the person
Xcurrently logged in.
X.PP
XIf no
X.B shell
Xis given, the current shell is printed, and a new one is asked.
X.PP
XDepending on choices made by the system administrator, it might
Xor might not be possible to modify someone else's shell. The program
Xwill then ask for the correct password first.
X.SH SEE ALSO
Xchfn(1), login(1)
X.SH DIAGNOSTICS
XThe
X.B shell
Xgiven is checked for existence, and executability.
X.br
XAlso, all kinds of problems with the password file, and locking it,
Xare reported, and the program exits.
X.SH BUGS
XThe executability check only looks at the mode, so it doesn't
Xguarantee that you will be able to log in with the given shell.

X * This program was originally written by K. Richard Magill,
X * and posted to mod.sources. It has been extensively
X * modified by Jack Jansen. See below for details.
X *
X * K. Richard Magill, 26-jan-86.
X * Last Mod 26-jan-86, rich.
X * Modified by Jack Jansen, 30-jan-86:
X * - It now runs under V7.
X * - It now uses (what I believe to be) standard
X * password file locking and backups.
X * - Check the size of the new passwd file, abort if
X * it looks funny.
X * - Check that there are no :colons: or \nnewlines\n in the
X * given string.
X * - Use name from getlogin() if not given, and ask for
X * parameters if not given.
X * - if SECURE is defined, don't let other people
X * muck finger/shell info.
