#48: auks support for pam_namespace --------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: wichert | Owner: pam-developers@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Component: modules Version: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: --------------------------+------------------------------ I made a patch which extends pam_namespace to add unionfs support (via aufs). This makes it possible to provide a private version of a directory that is writeable for the user. Configuration is simple: all you need to do is add a “unionfs” option in namespace.conf. In my test system the entry looks like this: {{{ $HOME /private/home/ tmpfs:union,mntopts=size=128m root }}} With this line pam_namespace does the following: when using tmpfs with the union option or a different method an instance directory is created when using the union option the bind mount is replaced with an aufs mount which adds the instance directory as a branch on top of the polyinstantiated directory -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/linux-pam/ticket/48> linux-pam <http://fedorahosted.org/linux-pam> The Linux-PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) project
