NAMEsudo_logsrvd —
sudo event and I/O log server
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTIONsudo_logsrvd is a high-performance log server that
accepts event and I/O logs from sudo . It can be used
to implement centralized logging of sudo logs. The
server has two modes of operation: local and relay. By default,
sudo_logsrvd stores the logs locally but it can also
be configured to relay them to another server that supports the
sudo_logsrv.proto(5)
protocol.
When not relaying, event log entries may be logged either via
syslog(3)
or to a local file. I/O Logs stored locally by
The server also supports restarting interrupted log transfers. To distinguish completed I/O logs from incomplete ones, the I/O log timing file is set to be read-only when the log is complete. Configuration parameters for
The options are as follows:
Securing server connectionsThe I/O log data sent tosudo_logsrvd may contain
sensitive information such as passwords and should be secured using Transport
Layer Security (TLS). Doing so requires having a signed certificate on the
server and, if tls_checkpeer is enabled in
sudo_logsrvd.conf(5),
a signed certificate on the client as well.
The certificates can either be signed by a well-known Certificate Authority (CA), or a private CA can be used. Instructions for creating a private CA are included below in the EXAMPLES section. Debugging sudo_logsrvdsudo_logsrvd supports a flexible debugging framework
that is configured via Debug lines in the
sudo.conf(5)
file.
For more information on configuring sudo.conf(5), refer to its manual. FILES
EXAMPLESCreating self-signed certificatesUnless you are using certificates signed by a well-known Certificate Authority (or a local enterprise CA), you will need to create your own CA that can sign the certificates used bysudo_logsrvd ,
sudo_sendlog , and the sudoers
plugin. The following steps use the
openssl(1)
command to create keys and certificates.
Initial setupFirst, we need to create a directory structure to store the files for the CA. We'll create a new directory hierarchy in /etc/ssl/sudo for this purpose.# mkdir /etc/ssl/sudo # cd /etc/ssl/sudo # mkdir certs csr newcerts private # chmod 700 private # touch index.txt # echo 1000 > serial The serial and index.txt files are used to keep track of signed certificates. Next, we need to make a copy of the openssl.conf file and customize it for our new CA. The path to openssl.cnf is system-dependent but /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf is the most common location. You will need to adjust the example below if it has a different location on your system. # cp /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf . Now edit the openssl.cnf file in the current directory and make sure it contains “ca” and “CA_default” sections. Those sections should include the following settings: [ ca ] default_ca = CA_default [ CA_default ] dir = /etc/ssl/sudo certs = $dir/certs database = $dir/index.txt certificate = $dir/cacert.pem serial = $dir/serial If your openssl.conf file already has a “CA_default” section, you may only need to modify the “dir” setting. Creating the CA key and certificateIn order to create and sign our own certificates, we need to create a private key and a certificate for the root of the CA. First, create the private key and protect it with a pass phrase:# openssl genrsa -aes256 -out private/cakey.pem 4096 # chmod 400 private/cakey.pem Next, generate the root certificate, using appropriate values for the site-specific fields: # openssl req -config openssl.cnf -key private/cakey.pem \ -new -x509 -days 7300 -sha256 -extensions v3_ca \ -out cacert.pem Enter pass phrase for private/cakey.pem: You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank. For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Colorado Locality Name (eg, city) []: Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:sudo Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:sudo Certificate Authority Common Name (e.g., server FQDN or YOUR name) []:sudo Root CA Email Address []: # chmod 444 cacert.pem Finally, verify the root certificate: # openssl x509 -noout -text -in cacert.pem Creating and signing certificatesThe server and client certificates will be signed by the previously created root CA. Usually, the root CA is not used to sign server/client certificates directly. Instead, intermediate certificates are created and signed with the root CA and the intermediate certs are used to sign CSRs (Certificate Signing Request). In this example we'll skip this part for simplicity's sake and sign the CSRs with the root CA.First, generate the private key without a pass phrase. # openssl genrsa -out private/logsrvd_key.pem 2048 # chmod 400 private/logsrvd_key.pem Next, create a certificate signing request (CSR) for the server's certificate. The organization name must match the name given in the root certificate. The common name should be either the server's IP address or a fully qualified domain name. # openssl req -config openssl.cnf -key private/logsrvd_key.pem -new \ -sha256 -out csr/logsrvd_csr.pem Enter pass phrase for private/logsrvd_key.pem: You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank. For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:US State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Colorado Locality Name (eg, city) []: Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:sudo Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:sudo log server Common Name (e.g., server FQDN or YOUR name) []:logserver.example.com Email Address []: Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent with your certificate request A challenge password []: An optional company name []: Now sign the CSR that was just created: # openssl ca -config openssl.cnf -days 375 -notext -md sha256 \ -in csr/logsrvd_csr.pem -out certs/logsrvd_cert.pem Using configuration from openssl.cnf Enter pass phrase for ./private/cakey.pem: Check that the request matches the signature Signature ok Certificate Details: Serial Number: 4096 (0x1000) Validity Not Before: Nov 11 14:05:05 2019 GMT Not After : Nov 20 14:05:05 2020 GMT Subject: countryName = US stateOrProvinceName = Colorado organizationName = sudo organizationalUnitName = sudo log server commonName = logserve.example.com X509v3 extensions: X509v3 Basic Constraints: CA:FALSE Netscape Comment: OpenSSL Generated Certificate X509v3 Subject Key Identifier: 4C:50:F9:D0:BE:1A:4C:B2:AC:90:76:56:C7:9E:16:AE:E6:9E:E5:B5 X509v3 Authority Key Identifier: keyid:D7:91:24:16:B1:03:06:65:1A:7A:6E:CF:51:E9:5C:CB:7A:95:3E:0C Certificate is to be certified until Nov 20 14:05:05 2020 GMT (375 days) Sign the certificate?

To generate a client certificate, repeat the process above using a different file name. Configuring sudo_logsrvd to use TLSTo use TLS for client/server communication, bothsudo_logsrvd and the sudoers
plugin need to be configured to use TLS. Configuring
sudo_logsrvd for TLS requires the following settings,
assuming the same path names used earlier:
# Listen on port 30344 for TLS connections to any address. listen_address = *:30344(tls) # Path to the certificate authority bundle file in PEM format. tls_cacert = /etc/ssl/sudo/cacert.pem # Path to the server's certificate file in PEM format. tls_cert = /etc/ssl/sudo/certs/logsrvd_cert.pem # Path to the server's private key file in PEM format. tls_key = /etc/ssl/sudo/private/logsrvd_key.pem The root CA cert (cacert.pem) must be
