[RFC PATCH 07/13] discover/discover-server: Restrict clients based on uid

Hi Sam,

Looks good overall so far.  In the processing for AUTH_MSG_SET is it a security hole to allow the client to just blindly set a new root password without providing the old one?  The password check is only done if restrict_clients is set so in other configurations a client is able to change the root password?  Some other options there would be to not process authentication messages at all unless restrict_clients is set?  Or maybe some sort of session token to declare that a client has previously authenticated to allow it?

Subject: [RFC PATCH 07/13] discover/discover-server: Restrict clients based on uid

If crypt support is enabled restrict what actions clients can perform by
default. Initial authorisation is set at connection time; clients
running as root are unrestricted, anything else runs as restricted until
it makes an authentication to pb-discover.

Unprivileged clients may only perform the following actions:
- Boot the default boot option.
- Cancel the autoboot timeout.
- Make an authentication request.

If a group named "petitgroup" exists then the socket permissions are
also modified so that only clients running as root or in that group may
connect to the socket.
The user-event socket is only usable by root since the two main
usecases are by utilities called by pb-discover or by a user in the
shell who will need to su to root anyway.
