Subject: v24i024: Scripts for setting site policies Newsgroups: comp.sources.unix Approved: rsalz@uunet.UU.NET X-Checksum-Snefru: 4bd55220 d00136f4 2c211cec 00fdfbc3 Submitted-by: Bud Hovell <bh@mtek.mtek.com> Posting-number: Volume 24, Issue 24 Archive-name: policy [ This is a rather interesting submission. Should I have posted it? Send me email. --r$ ] The need for more-formal policy definition seems to be gaining increasing recognition as a real problem at many sites, and this little package is an attempt to give SAs a leg up on addressing that concern by providing them some basic tools and suggestions. Rob Kolstad has made reference to this package on two occasions in his column, and Bjorn Satdeva at Sysadmin, Inc., has mentioned it also in the sysadmin subscriber list. Consequently, I have had a number of requests for it - and it may be time to make this info more-generally accessible. Let me say, though, that if you feel it is *not* an appropriate addition, then it isn't going to hurt my feelings if you reject it. :-) This is the latest version, which is a *vast* improvement over some of the earlier scripts. Hopefully, it will run on all common machines, but I am not certain, since my limited experience is only with sysv. Suggestions are welecome. Bud Hovell #! /bin/sh # This is a shell archive. Remove anything before this line, then unpack # it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file". To overwrite existing # files, type "sh file -c". You can also feed this as standard input via # unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g.. If this archive is complete, you # will see the following message at the end: # "End of archive 1 (of 1)." # Contents: 1stlogin.ann MANIFEST README gen logins policy usenet # Wrapped by bbh@mtek.com on Fri Mar 1 22:50:16 1991 PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb ; export PATH if test -f '1stlogin.ann' -a "${1}" != "-c" ; then echo shar: Will not clobber existing file \"'1stlogin.ann'\" else echo shar: Extracting \"'1stlogin.ann'\" $2394 characters$ sed "s/^X//" >'1stlogin.ann' <<'END_OF_FILE' X# $Id: 1stlogin.ann,v 1.10 91/02/07 09:55:17 bbh Rel $ X# Tell the new user what the rules are: X X# Give him a temp terminal for this script, which is run from /etc/profile: XTERM=vt100 Xexport TERM X Xdone= Xuntil [ "$done" = "yes" ];do X # Clear the screen X tput clear X cat << "END_PAGE_1" X X WELCOME!!!

This Xassures that every new user, on first login, gets the instructions Xregarding his responsibility to read, understand, and comply with local Xpolicy. It directs him to the use of the 'policy' command to become Xand stay current on in-house policy. You may choose to use it or not. XIf you do, this file should be set to 444 to make it read-only. X XAll other files listed in the MANIFEST relate to the 'policy' script Xitself, or to the example policy text files it might call: X XMuch of the 'gen' file was outright lifted directly from the text of a Xsimilar file used in one of the Canadian universities - have since for- Xgotten who/where was responsible (sorry). We have made a number of Xchanges for local circumstances. You may wish to start with this as a Xtemplate for your own general policy statement. X XA few other text files are provided simply as examples of supplementary Xpolicy descriptions. Because I tend to be a hard-ass, they probably won't Xbe appropriate at your site, but the subjects may be some you wish to cover. X XThe executable file, 'policy', should be useful to you even if you decide Xto drop-kick the use of our example policy files, since it provides an easy Xway to manage a full screen of policy-file listings for selection by the Xuser. If you make improvements on this script, I'd sure like to see them Xso they can be incorporated into future revisions, with proper credit to Xyou for the contribution. Since I don't claim to know about all the various Xunixen out there (remember, I'm a 'suit', not a 'tech' :-), this script Xmay need minor modification for some non-sysV machines. So far, though, I Xhaven't gotten any complaints, so it must be working with most of them. X XInstallation: you must create the policy directory, by default named 'Policy', Xand within that directory an empty menu file, by default named 'polmenu', Xwhich must be set mode 666 (read and write for everyone). The directory also Xwill contain the individual policy text files that you create - see the Xinstructions in the 'policy' script for more info, if needed. X XOnce set up, the script automatically updates the menu any time a new text Xfile is added. NOTE: in those instances that you may choose to *remove* Xa named text file, just empty the menu file and allow the script to rebuild Xa new menu of entries. X XHope this is useful to your purposes...bud@mtek.com END_OF_FILE if test 2844 -ne `wc -c <'README'`; then echo shar: \"'README'\" unpacked with wrong size! fi # end of 'README' fi if test -f 'gen' -a "${1}" != "-c" ; then echo shar: Will not clobber existing file \"'gen'\" else echo shar: Extracting \"'gen'\" $4492 characters$ sed "s/^X//" >'gen' <<'END_OF_FILE' Xgen - general overview $Revision: 1.10 $ $Date: 91/02/06 12:48:51 $ X^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ X X USE OF MTEK COMPUTING FACILITIES X XThis host is privately owned and operated in support of a business.

X XWhile it is not the intent of local policy to restrict unduly the exercise X of free and unbounded communication, it is to be likewise clearly X understood that no one having login privileges on this host has any X "right of free speech" whatsoever as it relates to exercise of that X privilege. X XBecause any login user has actual (or potential) access to usenet, the X administrator reserves the absolute and unfettered right to terminate, X with or without stated cause, any login which may have been granted X on this host at any time. X XThis policy exists primarily to provide recourse to the administrator in the X event a login user creates traffic onto the usenet which is considered X *by the administrator* to be of such character as to create a negative X reputation for this site and/or its management. Such actions will not X be tolerated. X XReceipt of messages from other *system administrators* (not users) register- X ing complaints about a local user will be considered compelling X evidence that the login should be withdrawn. Except.... X XIt is true that it is relatively simple (if one has root privilege on a host) X to create 'bogus' mail. Any login user who believes that someone has X sent bogus mail under his name and this site name should notify the X administrator immediately. These events, while rare, do happen, and X are a recognized risk faced by everyone. A plea of "I didn't DO it" X will usually prove to be a fully adequate defense....:-) END_OF_FILE if test 1711 -ne `wc -c <'logins'`; then echo shar: \"'logins'\" unpacked with wrong size! fi # end of 'logins' fi if test -f 'policy' -a "${1}" != "-c" ; then echo shar: Will not clobber existing file \"'policy'\" else echo shar: Extracting \"'policy'\" $2837 characters$ sed "s/^X//" >'policy' <<'END_OF_FILE' X# $Id: policy,v 1.19 91/01/16 10:55:28 bbh Rel $ X# X# Author: Bud Hovell <bud@mtek.com> X# MTEK International, Inc.
