.Sh NAME
.Nm sudo_logsrvd.conf
.Nd configuration for sudo_logsrvd
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm sudo_logsrvd.conf
file is used to configure the
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
log server.
It uses an INI-style format made up of sections in square brackets and
.Dq key = value
pairs specific to each section below the section name.
Depending on the key, values may be integers, booleans, or strings.
Section and key names are not case sensitive, but values are.
.Pp
The pound sign
.Pq Ql #
is used to indicate a comment.
Both the comment character and any text after it, up to the end of
the line, are ignored.
Lines beginning with a semi-colon
.Pq Ql \&;
are also ignored.
.Pp
Long lines can be continued with a backslash
.Pq Ql \e
as the last character on the line.
Leading white space is removed from the beginning of lines
even when the continuation character is used.
.Pp
The
.Sx EXAMPLES
section contains a copy of the default
.Nm
file.
.Pp
The following configuration sections are recognized:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -compact -offset 1n -width 1n
.It
server
.It
relay
.It
iolog
.It
eventlog
.It
syslog
.It
logfile
.El
.Pp
Each section is described in detail below.
.Ss server
The
.Em server
section configures the address and port the server will listen on.
The following keys are recognized:
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It listen_address = host Ns Oo : Ns port Oc Ns Op (tls)
The host name or IP address, optional port to listen on and
an optional Transport Layer Security (TLS) flag in parentheses.
.Pp
The host may be a host name, an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address
in square brackets or the wild card entry
.Ql * .
A host setting of
.Ql *
will cause
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
to listen on all configured network interfaces.
.Pp
If the optional tls flag is present,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will secure the connection with TLS version 1.2 or 1.3.
Versions of TLS prior to 1.2 are not supported.
See
.Xr sudo_logsrvd @mansectsu@
for details on generating TLS keys and certificates.
.Pp
If a port is specified, it may either be a port number or a known
service name as defined by the system service name database.
If no port is specified, port 30343 will be used for plaintext
connections and port 30344 will be used for TLS connections.
.Pp
The default value is:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset indent
listen_address = *:30343
listen_address = *:30344(tls)
.Ed
which will listen on all configured network interfaces for both
plaintext and TLS connections.
Multiple
.Em listen_address
lines may be specified to listen on more than one port or interface.
.It server_log = string
Where to log server warning and error messages.
Supported values are
.Em none ,
.Em stderr ,
.Em syslog ,
or a path name beginning with the
.Ql /
character.
A value of
.Em stderr
is only effective when used in conjunction with the
.Fl n
option.
The default value is
.Em syslog .
.It pid_file = path
The path to the file containing the process ID of the running
.Nm sudo_logsrvd .
If set to an empty value, or if
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
is run with the
.Fl n
option, no
.Em pid_file
will be created.
If
.Em pid_file
refers to a symbolic link, it will be ignored.
The default value is
.Pa @rundir@/sudo_logsrvd.pid .
.It tcp_keepalive = boolean
If true,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will enable the TCP keepalive socket option on the client connection.
This enables the periodic transmission of keepalive messages to the client.
If the client does not respond to a message in time, the connection will
be closed.
Defaults to
.Em true .
.It timeout = number
The amount of time, in seconds,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will wait for the client to respond.
A value of 0 will disable the timeout.
The default value is
.Em 30 .
.It tls_cacert = path
The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM format,
to use instead of the system's default certificate authority database
when authenticating clients.
The default is to use
.Pa /etc/ssl/sudo/cacert.pem
if it exists, otherwise the system's default certificate authority
database is used.
.It tls_cert = path
The path to the server's certificate file, in PEM format.
The default value is
.Pa /etc/ssl/sudo/certs/logsrvd_cert.pem .
.It tls_checkpeer = bool
If true, client certificates will be validated by
.Nm sudo_logsrvd ;
clients without a valid certificate will be unable to connect.
If false, no validation of client certificates will be performed.
It true and client certificates are created using a private certificate
authority, the
.Em tls_cacert
setting must be set to a CA bundle that contains the CA certificate
used to generate the client certificate.
The default value is
.Em false .
.It tls_ciphers_v12 = string
A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.2 only,
separated by a colon
.Ql :\& .
See the
.Sx CIPHER LIST FORMAT
section in
.Xr openssl-ciphers 1
for full details.
The default value is
.Dq HIGH:!aNULL
which consists of encryption cipher suites with key lengths larger than
128 bits, and some cipher suites with 128-bit keys.
Cipher suites that offer no authentication are excluded.
.It tls_ciphers_v13 = string
A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.3 only,
separated by a colon
.Ql :\& .
Supported cipher suites depend on the version of OpenSSL used,
but should include the following:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -compact -width 4n -offset indent
.It TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
.It TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
.It TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
.It TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256
.It TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256
.El
.Pp
The default cipher suite is
.Dq TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 .
.It tls_dhparams = path
The path to a file containing custom Diffie-Hellman parameters in PEM format.
This file can be created with the following command:
.Bd -literal
openssl dhparam -out /etc/sudo_logsrvd_dhparams.pem 2048
.Ed
.Pp
By default,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will use the OpenSSL defaults for Diffie-Hellman key generation.
.It tls_key = path
The path to the server's private key file, in PEM format.
The default value is
.Pa /etc/ssl/sudo/private/logsrvd_key.pem .
.It tls_verify = bool
If true,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will validate its own certificate at startup time or when the
configuration is changed.
If false, no verification is performed of the server certificate.
When using self-signed certificates without a certificate authority,
this setting should be set to false.
The default value is
.Em true .
.El
.Ss relay
The
.Em relay
section configures the optional logsrv relay host and port the server will
connect to.
The TLS configuration keys are optional, by default the corresponding
keys in the
.Sx server
section will be used.
They are only present in this section to make it possible for the relay
connection to use a different set of TLS parameters from the client-facing
server.
The following keys are recognized:
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It connect_timeout = number
The amount of time, in seconds,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will wait for the connection to a
.Em relay_host
(see below) to complete.
Once the connection is complete, the
.Em timeout
setting controls the amount of time
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will wait for the relay to respond.
A value of 0 will disable the timeout.
The default value is
.Em 30 .
.It relay_dir = path
The directory in which log messages are temporarily stored before they
are sent to the relay host.
Messages are stored in the wire format specified by
.Xr sudo_logsrv.proto @mansectform@
The default value is
.Pa @relay_dir@ .
.It relay_host = host Ns Oo : Ns port Oc Ns Op (tls)
The relay host name or IP address, optional port to connect to and
an optional Transport Layer Security (TLS) flag in parentheses.
The syntax is identical to
.Em listen_address
in the
.Sx server
section with one exception: the wild card
.Ql *
syntax is not supported.
.Pp
When this setting is enabled, messages from the client will be forwarded
to one of the specified relay hosts instead of being stored locally.
The
.Ar host
could be running an instance of
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
or another server that supports the
.Xr sudo_logsrv.proto @mansectform@
protocol.
.Pp
If multiple
.Em relay_host
lines are specified, the first available relay host will be used.
.It retry_interval = number
The number of seconds to wait after a connection error before making
a new attempt to forward a message to a relay host.
The default value is
.Em 30 .
.It store_first = boolean
If true,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will store logs locally before relaying them.
Once the log is complete, a connection to the relay host is opened
and the log is relayed.
If the network connection is interrupted before the log can be fully
transferred, it will be retransmitted later.
The default is to relay logs in real-time.
.It tcp_keepalive = boolean
If true,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will enable the TCP keepalive socket option on the relay connection.
This enables the periodic transmission of keepalive messages to the relay
server.
If the relay does not respond to a message in time, the connection will
be closed.
.It timeout = number
The amount of time, in seconds,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will wait for the relay server to respond after a connection has succeeded.
A value of 0 will disable the timeout.
The default value is
.Em 30 .
.It tls_cacert = path
The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM format,
to use instead of the system's default certificate authority database
when authenticating clients.
The default is to use the value specified in the
.Sx server
section, or the system's default certificate authority database if
no value is set.
.It tls_cert = path
The path to the server's certificate file, in PEM format.
The default is to use the value specified in the
.Sx server
section.
.It tls_checkpeer = bool
If true, the relay host's certificate will be validated by
.Nm sudo_logsrvd ;
connections to a relay without a valid certificate will fail.
If false, no validation of relay certificates will be performed.
It true and relay certificates are created using a private certificate
authority, the
.Em tls_cacert
setting must be set to a CA bundle that contains the CA certificate
used to generate the relay certificate.
The default is to use the value specified in the
.Sx server
section.
.It tls_ciphers_v12 = string
A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.2 only,
separated by a colon
.Ql :\& .
See the
.Sx CIPHER LIST FORMAT
section in
.Xr openssl-ciphers 1
for full details.
The default is to use the value specified in the
.Sx server
section.
.It tls_ciphers_v13 = string
A list of ciphers to use for connections secured by TLS version 1.3 only,
separated by a colon
.Ql :\& .
Supported cipher suites depend on the version of OpenSSL used,
see the
.Sx server
section for more information.
The default is to use the value specified in the
.Sx server
section.
.It tls_dhparams = path
The path to a file containing custom Diffie-Hellman parameters in PEM format.
The default is to use the value specified in the
.Sx server
section.
.It tls_key = path
The path to the server's private key file, in PEM format.
The default is to use the value specified in the
.Sx server
section.
.It tls_verify = bool
If true, the server's certificate used for relaying will be verified at startup.
If false, no verification is performed of the server certificate.
When using self-signed certificates without a certificate authority,
this setting should be set to false.
The default is to use the value specified in the
.Sx server
section.
.El
.Ss iolog
The
.Em iolog
section configures I/O log parameters.
These settings are identical to the I/O configuration in
.Xr sudoers @mansectform@ .
The following keys are recognized:
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It iolog_compress = boolean
If set, I/O logs will be compressed using
.Sy zlib .
Enabling compression can make it harder to view the logs in real-time as
the program is executing due to buffering.
The default value is
.Em false .
.It iolog_dir = path
The top-level directory to use when constructing the path
name for the I/O log directory.
The session sequence number, if any, is stored in the directory.
The default value is
.Pa @iolog_dir@ .
.Pp
The following percent
.Pq Ql %
escape sequences are supported:
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It %{seq}
expanded to a monotonically increasing base-36 sequence number, such as 0100A5,
where every two digits are used to form a new directory, e.g.,
.Pa 01/00/A5
.It %{user}
expanded to the invoking user's login name
.It %{group}
expanded to the name of the invoking user's real group-ID
.It %{runas_user}
expanded to the login name of the user the command will
be run as (e.g., root)
.It %{runas_group}
expanded to the group name of the user the command will
be run as (e.g., wheel)
.It %{hostname}
expanded to the local host name without the domain name
.It %{command}
expanded to the base name of the command being run
.El
.Pp
In addition, any escape sequences supported by the system's
.Xr strftime 3
function will be expanded.
.Pp
To include a literal
.Ql %
character, the string
.Ql %%
should be used.
.It iolog_file = path
The path name, relative to
.Em iolog_dir ,
in which to store I/O logs.
It is possible for
.Em iolog_file
to contain directory components.
The default value is
.Dq %{seq} .
.Pp
See the
.Em iolog_dir
setting above for a list of supported percent
.Pq Ql %
escape sequences.
.Pp
In addition to the escape sequences, path names that end in six or
more
.Em X Ns s
will have the
.Em X Ns s
replaced with a unique combination of digits and letters, similar to the
.Xr mktemp 3
function.
.Pp
If the path created by concatenating
.Em iolog_dir
and
.Em iolog_file
already exists, the existing I/O log file will be truncated and
overwritten unless
.Em iolog_file
ends in six or
more
.Em X Ns s .
.It iolog_flush = boolean
If set, I/O log data is flushed to disk after each write instead of
buffering it.
This makes it possible to view the logs in real-time as the program is
executing but may significantly reduce the effectiveness
of I/O log compression.
I/O logs are always flushed before sending a commit point to the client
regardless of this setting.
The default value is
.Em true .
.It iolog_group = name
The group name to look up when setting the group-ID on new I/O log
files and directories.
If
.Em iolog_group
is not set,
the primary group-ID of the user specified by
.Em iolog_user is used.
If neither
.Em iolog_group
nor
.Em iolog_user
are set, I/O log files and directories are created with group-ID 0.
.It iolog_mode = mode
The file mode to use when creating I/O log files.
Mode bits for read and write permissions for owner, group, or other
are honored, everything else is ignored.
The file permissions will always include the owner read and
write bits, even if they are not present in the specified mode.
When creating I/O log directories, search (execute) bits are added
to match the read and write bits specified by
.Em iolog_mode .
The default value is
.Em 0600 .
.It iolog_user = name
The user name to look up when setting the owner of new
I/O log files and directories.
If
.Em iolog_group
is set, it will be used instead of the user's primary group-ID.
By default, I/O log files and directories are created with user and
group-ID 0.
.It log_passwords = bool
Most programs that require a user's password will disable echo before
reading the password to avoid displaying the plaintext password on
the screen.
However, if terminal input is being logged,
the password will still be present in the I/O log.
If
.Em log_passwords
is set to
.Em false ,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will attempt to prevent passwords from being logged.
It does this by using the regular expressions in
.Em passprompt_regex
to match a password prompt in the terminal output buffer.
When a match is found, input characters in the I/O log will be replaced with
.Ql *
until either a line feed or carriage return is found in the terminal input
or a new terminal output buffer is received.
If, however, a program displays characters as the user types them
(such as
.Nm sudo
when the
.Em pwfeedback
option is set), only the
first character of the password will be replaced in the I/O log.
The default value is
.Em true .
.It maxseq = number
The maximum sequence number that will be substituted for the
.Dq %{seq}
escape in the I/O log file (see the
.Em iolog_dir
description above for more information).
While the value substituted for
.Dq %{seq}
is in base 36,
.Em maxseq
itself should be expressed in decimal.
Values larger than 2176782336 (which corresponds to the
base 36 sequence number
.Dq ZZZZZZ )
will be silently truncated to 2176782336.
The default value is
.Em 2176782336 .
.It passprompt_regex = string
One or more POSIX extended regular expressions used to
match password prompts in the terminal output when
.Em log_passwords
is disabled.
As an extension, if the regular expression begins with
.Dq (?i) ,
it will be matched in a case-insensitive manner.
Multiple
.Em passprompt_regex
settings may be specified.
Each regular expression is limited to 1024 characters.
The default value is
.Dq [Pp]assword[: ]* .
.El
.Ss eventlog
The
.Em eventlog
section configures how (and if) security policy events are logged.
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It log_type = string
Where to log accept, reject, and alert events reported by the policy.
Supported values are
.Em syslog ,
.Em logfile ,
and
.Em none .
The default value is
.Em syslog .
.It log_exit = boolean
If true,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will log an event when a command exits or is terminated by a signal.
Defaults to
.Em false .
.It log_format = string
The event log format.
Supported log formats are
.Dq sudo
for traditional sudo-style logs and
.Dq json
for JSON-format logs.
The JSON log entries contain the full contents of the accept, reject, exit
and alert messages.
The default value is
.Em sudo .
.El
.Ss syslog
The
.Em syslog
section configures how events are logged via
.Xr syslog 3 .
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It facility = string
Syslog facility if syslog is being used for logging.
Defaults to
.Em @logfac@ .
.Pp
The following syslog facilities are supported:
.Sy authpriv
(if your
OS supports it),
.Sy auth ,
.Sy daemon ,
.Sy user ,
.Sy local0 ,
.Sy local1 ,
.Sy local2 ,
.Sy local3 ,
.Sy local4 ,
.Sy local5 ,
.Sy local6 ,
and
.Sy local7 .
.It accept_priority = string
Syslog priority to use when the user is allowed to run a command and
authentication is successful.
Defaults to
.Em @goodpri@ .
.Pp
The following syslog priorities are supported:
.Sy alert ,
.Sy crit ,
.Sy debug ,
.Sy emerg ,
.Sy err ,
.Sy info ,
.Sy notice ,
.Sy warning ,
and
.Sy none .
Setting it to a value of
.Sy none
will disable logging of successful commands.
.It reject_priority = string
Syslog priority to use when the user is not allowed to run a command or
when authentication is unsuccessful.
Defaults to
.Em @badpri@ .
.Pp
See
.Em accept_priority
for the list of supported syslog priorities.
.It alert_priority = string
Syslog priority to use for event log alert messages received from the client.
Defaults to
.Em @badpri@ .
.Pp
See
.Em accept_priority
for the list of supported syslog priorities.
.It maxlen = number
On many systems,
.Xr syslog 3
has a relatively small log buffer.
IETF RFC 5424 states that syslog servers must support messages of
at least 480 bytes and should support messages up to 2048 bytes.
By default,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
creates log messages up to 960 bytes which corresponds to the
historic
.Bx
syslog implementation which used a 1024 byte buffer
to store the message, date, hostname, and program name.
.Pp
To prevent syslog messages from being truncated,
.Nm sudo_logsrvd
will split up sudo-style log messages that are larger than
.Em maxlen
bytes.
When a message is split, additional parts will include the string
.Dq Pq command continued
after the user name and before the continued command line arguments.
JSON-format log entries are never split and are not affected by
.Em maxlen .
.It server_facility = string
Syslog facility if syslog is being used for server warning messages.
See above for a list of supported facilities.
Defaults to
.Em daemon
.El
.Ss logfile
The
.Em logfile
section consists of settings related to logging to a plain file
(not syslog).
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It path = string
The path to the file-based event log.
This path must be fully-qualified and start with a
.Sq /
character.
The default value is
.Pa @logpath@ .
.It time_format = string
The string used when formatting the date and time for file-based event logs.
Formatting is performed via the system's
.Xr strftime 3
function so any escape sequences supported by that function will be expanded.
The default value is
.Dq "%h %e %T"
which produces dates like
.Dq Oct  3 07:15:24
in the
.Ql C
locale.
