NAME
se_dpkg,se_apt-get,se_aptitude,se_dpkg-reconfigure,se_dselect,se_synaptic - run a Debian
package system programs in the proper security context
SYNOPSIS
se_dpkg [ <<dpkg ARGS>> ... ]
se_apt-get [ <<apt-get ARGS>> ... ]
se_aptitude [ <<aptitude ARGS>> ... ]
se_dpkg-reconfigure [ <<dpkg-reconfigure ARGS>> ... ]
se_dselect [ <<dselect ARGS>> ... ]
se_synaptic [ <<synaptic ARGS>> ... ]
DESCRIPTION
These programs are all symbolic links to a simple wrapper script that uses run_init to run
actually run the corresponding program after setting up the proper context. run_init
acquires a new Psuedo terminal, forks a child process that binds to the pseudo terminal,
forks the program (dpkg,apt-get,aptitude,synaptic,dselect,ordpkg-reconfigure) that the
user actually needs to run, and then sits around and connects the physical terminal it was
invoked upon with the psuedo terminal, passing keyboard into to the child process, and
passing the output of the child process to the physical terminal.
It sets up the psuedo terminal properly based on the physical terminal attributes, and
then sets the user's terminal to RAW mode, taking care to reset it on exit.
