Hi Baptiste,

Would you mind to add the u2f.conf to the port that you've already committed?

Thanks

security/libu2f-host/pkg-plist

All your rules do is change permissions, shouldn't you be using devfs.rules for this instead of devd actions?

It was discussed with hselasky@

I want to hear bapt's opinion, because he has already committed this port.

u2f.conf changes the permissions of the $cdev node of the ugen device so that the libu2f-host can access this devices on FreeBSD.

Please feel free to comment or propose changes.

Can you update diff against the existing port?

security/libu2f-host/files/u2f.conf.in

Did you convert devd rules from udev via script? If so please add it under /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/ or create USES.

8 ↗(On Diff #30007)

This grants r/w access for default group which is probably wheel unless overriden via /etc/devfs.rules. Maybe create a dedicated group (e.g. u2f) and document it somewhere (manpage or pkg-message). Here're a few examples:

  • comms/telldus-core/files/patch-tdadmin-freebsd-devd-tellstick.conf
  • devel/msp430-debug-stack/files/mspfet.conf
  • print/cups/files/cups.conf.sample
  • graphics/sane-backends/files/pkg-message.in

Can you quote the discussion or post a link to the achived copy?

sorry I have missed that review

if you want to grab the port and make it yours, feel free to grab it :)

I would prefer a devfs.rules but maybe the devd conf file is more userfriendly

I agree

Thanks Baptiste!

I hope that Hans will shed some light on the device permissions then I'll proceed to change the port accordingly.

Indeed, writing an converter script would be useful, but I did it from scratch.

Thanks for pointing this out! I need to dig more to be completely sure.

Please, take a look at your inbox.

It might be better if this library installed its own group which these devices are chowned to?

Regarding device permissions, please check if I forgot anything else.

Thanks for your quick reply, Hans

Update diff against r445430

Looks good to me with regards to the USB bits and the devd script. I'm not sure if you should install u2f.conf directly or postfixed with .sample which will require user-interaction.

Well, I think that just installing u2f.conf would be enough. Maybe adding a note in pkg-message to remind consumers that they should restart devd?

Thanks again :)

Here is an example:

======================================================================
                            
Note that a sample file is installed in %%PREFIX%%/etc/devd/u2f.conf
to allow u2f access permissions.

You should only restart devd with the command:
# service devd restart

GIDs
172

Maybe pick group-only free number e.g., 116, 141, 151.

UIDs
177

Maybe drop this, so GIDs can reserve group-only number.

security/libu2f-host/Makefile

Why do you need a separate user as well? Does the port install a daemon and/or rc.d script?

security/libu2f-host/files/pkg-message.in

"Note that" is redundant.

8

You're forgetting the user has to be part of u2f group. Maybe rephrase the whole file e.g.,

The package requires read/write access to USB devices. To facilitate
such access it comes with a devd.conf(5) file, but you still need to
restart devd(8), add the desired users to "u2f" group and log those
out of the current session. For example:

  $ pw group mod u2f -m <user>
  $ shutdown -r now

For details, see %%PREFIX%%/etc/devd/u2f.conf
security/libu2f-host/pkg-plist
11

Can you alphabetically sort as if @sample was absent? See the output from make restage && make makeplist.
