Subject: This patch introduces the concept of socket privilege levels.  "UPDATE"
X-Git-Url: https://git.octo.it/?p=rrdtool.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2eb6853472839cde0f48e717981a169078af74f1;hp=2eb6853472839cde0f48e717981a169078af74f1

This patch introduces the concept of socket privilege levels.  "UPDATE"
and "FLUSHALL" commands are restricted to high-privilege sockets.  "FLUSH"
commands can be executed on any socket.  This is ideal for multi-user
installations where only certain users need write access to the RRD files.

Now, nearly all socket information is passed around the daemon in
listen_socket_t data structures.  In case there is other per-socket state
(i.e. if we add authentication) we can put it there.

Also, I created a new "open_listen_socket_network" and removed the network
setup from "open_listen_socket". -- kevin
