Thierry Carrez 3c87de7c12 A more secure root-wrapper alternative
Alternative to using a sudoers file to limit which commands can be run as
root in Nova. This one makes use of command filters defined in Nova code
itself, which can be customized to deeply inspect command arguments before
allowing a command to be executed.

This change puts the infrastructure in place, together with command filters
that replicate the level of filtering provided by a sudoers file (no deep
argument inspection yet). An example of an advanced filter (RegExpFilter) is
also provided. This new root wrapper is not active by default (root_helper
still defaults to "sudo"). Implements blueprint nova-rootwrap.

"""Root wrapper for Nova
Uses modules in nova.rootwrap containing filters for commands
that nova is allowed to run as another user.
To switch to using this, you should:
* Set "--root_helper=sudo nova-rootwrap" in nova.conf
* Allow nova to run nova-rootwrap as root in nova_sudoers:
nova ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nova-rootwrap
(all other commands can be removed from this file)
To make allowed commands node-specific, your packaging should only
install nova/rootwrap/{compute,network,volume}.py respectively on
compute, network and volume nodes (i.e. nova-api nodes should not
have any of those files installed).
