<para>
|
|
Subuid authorizes a user id to map ranges of user ids from its namespace
|
|
into child namespaces.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The delegation of the subordinate uids can be configured via the
|
|
<replaceable>subid</replaceable> field in
|
|
<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file. Only one value can be set
|
|
as the delegation source. Setting this field to
|
|
<replaceable>files</replaceable> configures the delegation of uids to
|
|
<filename>/etc/subuid</filename>. Setting any other value treats
|
|
the delegation as a plugin following with a name of the form
|
|
<replaceable>libsubid_$value.so</replaceable>. If the value or plugin is
|
|
missing, then the subordinate uid delegation falls back to
|
|
<replaceable>files</replaceable>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note, that <command>useradd</command> will only create entries in
|
|
<filename>/etc/subuid</filename> if subid delegation is managed via subid
|
|
files.

<title>LOCAL SUBORDINATE DELEGATION</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Each line in <filename>/etc/subuid</filename> contains
|
|
a user name and a range of subordinate user ids that user
|
|
is allowed to use.
|
|
|
|
This is specified with three fields delimited by colons
|
|
(<quote>:</quote>).
|
|
These fields are:

<para>

This file specifies the user IDs that ordinary users can use, with
|
|
the <command>newuidmap</command> command, to configure uid mapping
|
|
in a user namespace.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Multiple ranges may be specified per user.
|

<para>
|
|
When large number of entries (10000-100000 or more) are defined in
|
|
<filename>/etc/subuid</filename>, parsing performance penalty will
|
|
become noticeable. In this case it is recommended to use UIDs
|
|
instead of login names. Benchmarks have shown speed-ups up to 20x.
