=head1 DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
|
|
2013-08-13 11:13:33 +00:00
|
|
|
The B<virt-login-shell> program is a setuid shell that is used to join
|
|
|
|
|
an LXC container that matches the user's name. If the container is not
|
|
|
|
|
running, virt-login-shell will attempt to start the container.
|
2013-09-03 03:51:32 +00:00
|
|
|
virt-login-shell is not allowed to be run by root. Normal users will get
|
2013-08-13 11:13:33 +00:00
|
|
|
added to a container that matches their username, if it exists, and they are
|
2013-08-08 15:36:31 +00:00
|
|
|
configured in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The basic structure of most virt-login-shell usage is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
virt-login-shell
|
|

|
=head1 CONFIG
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, virt-login-shell will execute the /bin/sh program for the user.
|
2013-08-13 11:13:33 +00:00
|
|
|
You can modify this behaviour by defining the shell variable in
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.
|
2013-08-08 15:36:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2016-04-12 14:45:48 +00:00
|
|
|
eg. shell = [ "/bin/bash" ]
|
2013-08-08 15:36:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2016-04-12 16:01:39 +00:00
|
|
|
If the 'auto_shell' config option is set then it will attempt to automatically
|
|
|
|
|
detect the shell from /etc/password inside the container. This should only be
|
|
|
|
|
done if the container has a separate /etc directory from the host, otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
it will end up recursively invoking virt-login-shell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eg. auto_shell = 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-08-13 11:13:33 +00:00
|
|
|
By default no users are allowed to use virt-login-shell, if you want to allow
|
|
|
|
|
certain users to use virt-login-shell, you need to modify the allowed_users
|
|
|
|
|
variable in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf.
|
2013-08-08 15:36:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eg. allowed_users = [ "tom", "dick", "harry" ]

=head1 EXIT STATUS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B<virt-login-shell> normally returns the exit status of the command it
|
|
|
|
|
executed. If the command was killed by a signal, but that signal is not
|
|
|
|
|
fatal to virt-login-shell, then it returns the signal number plus 128.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exit status generated by B<virt-login-shell> itself:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
=over 4

=item B<0> An option was used to learn more about this binary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=item B<125> Generic error before attempting execution of the configured
|
|
|
|
|
shell; for example, if libvirtd is not running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=item B<126> The configured shell exists but could not be executed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=item B<127> The configured shell could not be found.
