Samba Authenticated Gateway HOWTO
Ricardo Alexandre Mattar
v1.3, 2005-01-06
This document intends to show how to build a Firewall/Gateway with
rules set on user basis having the users authenticated by a Samba Pri-
mary Domain Controller
[1m1. Introduction[0m
As you can see by the poorness of my language, English is not my
native language. I am writing this document in English for the sake of
the Linux community. So, please, excuse me for my poor English. And,
please, if you speak Portuguese, address me in this language.
This document intends to enlighten you (and myself) in the process of
building a Linux Gateway or Firewall, which modify rules on demand
when users log in or out from their Windows workstations.
In this document, I will try to show how to build a gateway to NAT or
MASQUERADE Windows workstations. Use your imagination to modify it to
get any level of network management. You may use it to grant or deny
access to services, servers or entire subnetworks on your network.
Imagine that you have to build a gateway to let Windows workstation
access the Internet and that you need to authenticate each user before
letting them access the external networks. The first solution you
think about is Squid. It's indeed a great solution, when http and ftp
access is enough for your users. When it comes to let them access
other services like pop, smtp, ssh, a database server or whatever
else, you immediately think about NAT or MASQUERADE. But what happens
to the user authentication?
Well, this is my solution. It gives you user authentication and fine
grain control over their access to the external networks.
[1m1.1. Overview[0m
We know that SAMBA can act as a Domain Controller and so it can
authenticate users on Windows boxes. As a PDC, SAMBA can push netlogon
scripts to the Windows workstations. We can use this netlogon scripts
to force the Windows workstations mounting a given share from our
Linux PDC. This "forced" share shall have preexec and postexec scripts
which shall be triggered when the user logs in or out. There is a
program named smbstatus which lists the shares being used, giving us
also the username and ip address of the workstation. We just need to
grep this information from smbstatus output and update our firewall
rules.

[1m2. Requirements[0m
[1m2.1. Knowledge[0m
This document is target at the seasoned systems administrator.
You must have a fair knowledge about (at least know what these are):
· TCP/IP;
· Linux netfilter;
· A scripting language (bash?);
· SAMBA and Windows networking and domain controllers;
Fortunately, there is plenty of documentation on these topics on the
Internet.
[1m2.2. Software[0m
Installed on your server, you will need at least:
· Samba;
· Iptables;
· A scripting language;
[1m3. Linux box setup[0m
This Howto assumes you have a kernel from the 2.4 series as it uses
iptables. Other than that, there are no known issues why this should
not work on a 2.2 kernel box with the scripts adapted to ipchains.
Of course, you need to install the iptables userland tools, an apache
http server if you want to run a CGI tool to change passwords and
SAMBA. And you will need a kernel compiled with iptables modules.
You may wish to use DHCP. If so, it is easy to set up. Remember to
configure the dhcp server to give the nameserver IP address and the
gateway IP address as well. The Windows machines will make good use of
this information.
[1m3.1. Basic system setup[0m
Generally any basic system setup from the common Linux distributions
will fit in this gateway example. Just check if you have Samba and
IPTABLES.
[1m3.2. Additional directory hierarchy[0m
The additional directory hierarchy will be required to accomplish the
example of this howto:
This is used to keep track of the users and IP addresses:
/var/run/smbgate/
This is where I place user specific scripts:
/etc/smbgate/users/
And group specific scripts:
/etc/smbgate/groups/
Directory for the netlogon share:
/home/samba/netlogon/
Directory for the tracking share:
/home/samba/samba/
These hierarchies are required by some of the scripts and daemons of
the example.
[1m3.3. Firewall setup[0m
Its very unlikely that your distribution's kernel won't be compiled
with Iptables and the userland tools won't be installed either.
Anyway, if you don't have it, refer to http://www.netfilter.org
<http://www.netfilter.org> or http://www.iptables.org
<http://www.iptables.org> to get the software and the documentation.
You will need a basic firewall setup in order to get the gateway
working. Take a look at the iptables tutorial at IPTABLES TUTORIAL
<http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/tutorials/blueflux/iptables-
tutorial.html>. It's an interesting reading. Anyway, if you have no
time to spend, the following code is somewhat (very) loose but it may
fit your needs:
#!/bin/sh
IPTABLES=/usr/sbin/iptables
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/insmod ip_tables
/sbin/insmod ip_conntrack
/sbin/insmod ip_conntrack_ftp
/sbin/insmod ip_conntrack_irc
/sbin/insmod iptable_nat
/sbin/insmod ip_nat_ftp
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
$IPTABLES -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F INPUT
$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F OUTPUT
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F FORWARD
$IPTABLES -t nat -F
You will notice that this code actually does nothing, but load the
kernel modules related to nat and firewalling and turns the packet
routing on. You can (and should) place any rules there to give your
gateway a standard behavior, but the big magic will be done by scripts
called by the SAMBA daemon.
Please, remember that this code doesn't have the least bit of
security! Don't use these examples in production environments. This
example intends only to be educational. You have to add a firewall
configuration that suits your systems.
You have been warned!
[1m3.4. SAMBA setup[0m
Check if you have Samba installed. If your distribution doesn't come
with Samba pre-packaged then refer to http://www.samba.org
<http://www.samba.org> to get the packages and for documentation on
how to install Samba. Brows around their web site and learn about it.
The site has plenty of documentation and maybe your LINUX distribution
also has plenty of SAMBA documentation.
We will need to setup SAMBA as a Primary Domain Controller. I will
give an example configuration file here, but you should read the Samba
HOWTO Collection <http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-
Collection.html> and learn all you can about a PDC.
[1m3.4.1. Basic SAMBA setup.[0m
Since I do not intend to rewrite the SAMBA documentation, here goes a
sample smb.conf file:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = DOMAIN
netbios name = LINUX
server string = Linux PDC
encrypt passwords = Yes
map to guest = Bad Password
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd
unix password sync = Yes
max log size = 50
time server = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u
logon script = %a.bat
domain logons = Yes
os level = 64
lm announce = True
preferred master = True
domain master = True
dns proxy = No
printing = lprng
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home/%u
read only = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
available = No
[netlogon]
comment = NetLogon ShARE
path = /home/samba/netlogon
guest account =
[samba]
comment = login tracking share
path = /home/samba/samba
browseable = No
root preexec = /usr/local/bin/netlogon.sh %u %I
root postexec = /usr/local/bin/netlogoff.sh %u
You will have to do with it or read the SAMBA documentation if you
really want to control your server and network.
[1m3.4.2. The "logon script"[0m
Using "logon script = %a.bat" makes samba evaluate the guest os and
call an appropriated logon script. If you want a static script, just
change to "logon script = netlogon.bat". Actually you can do anything
here and even generate any script during the logon.
[1m3.4.3. The netlogon and the tracking shares[0m
The netlogon share is where the Windows workstations download the
logon script from. We need this share in order to place there a logon
script, which will tell the workstation to mount a share that will be
used to track the users ip addresses.
As you can see, there must be a line like the following in your
smb.conf
logon script = netlogon.bat
This line will tell your Windows client to download and execute the
script named netlogon.bat. This script must be placed at the netlogon
share. So, we will also need a netlogon.bat script to your Windows
workstations. You can use the following example and place it at the
netlogon share, in this case: /home/samba/netlogon/NETLOGON.BAT.
REM NETLOGON.BAT
net use z: \\linux\samba /yes
This script will tell the Windows workstation to mount the specified
share, and so we will be able to keep track of the user and
workstation through the output of the smbstatus program.
Quite simple! But not enough...
As you could see, we will need also a tracking share which, in this
example, I named samba. You can see the tracking share configuration
in smb.conf:
[samba]
comment = login tracking share
path = /home/samba/samba
browseable = No
root preexec = /usr/local/bin/netlogon.sh %u %I
root postexec = /usr/local/bin/netlogoff.sh %u
As you can guess or know if you read the SAMBA documentation, the root
preexec and the root postexec lines tell SAMBA to run the indicated
scripts when a user mounts or unmounts the share. In this case, we are
passing the username to the script as a parameter. Note the %u at the
end of the lines. These scripts are the beasts which will call a
script or program to modify our gateway's packet filtering rules.
Note that the netlogon.sh script must check if the refered workstation
has already mounted the tracking share.
Take a look at the netlogon.sh and netlogoff.sh scripts:
#!/bin/sh
#
# netlogon.sh
#
# usage:
# netlogon.sh <username>
#
if [ -f /var/run/smbgate/$1 ] ; then
exit 0
fi
echo $2 > /var/run/smbgate/$1
IPTABLES='/usr/sbin/iptables'
EXTIF='eth0'
COMMAND='-A'
ADDRESS=`cat /var/run/smbgate/$1`
GROUP=`groups $1 | gawk '// { print $3 }'`
if [ -f /etc/smbgate/users/$1 ] ; then
/etc/smbgate/users/$1 $COMMAND $ADDRESS $EXTIF
else
if [ -f /etc/smbgate/groups/$GROUP ] ; then
/etc/smbgate/groups/$GROUP $COMMAND $ADDRESS $EXTIF
else
/etc/smbgate/users/default.sh $COMMAND $ADDRESS $EXTIF
fi
fi
This script (netlogon.sh) is intended to run when the user logs in and
will select the which scripts will be executed based on the user name
and to which group the user belongs. The user's ip address will be
written to a file at /var/run/smbgate for tracking purposes. The file
will take the user's name and will be later used when the user log
off. The IP address will be passed as an argument to a script with the
users' name which will finally update the firewall.
Notice that this netlogon.sh script tries a user script, then if it
can't find the user script it tries a group script, and finally if it
can't find the group script it tries the default.sh script. You can
modify this logic and behavior as you wish and need, just remember to
modify the others accordingly.
Chances are if the user belong to more than one that these scripts
will fail. I did not have time to write a better code.
#!/bin/sh
#
# netlogoff.sh
#
# usage:
# netlogoff.sh <username>
#
IPTABLES='/usr/sbin/iptables'
EXTIF='ppp0'
COMMAND='-D'
TRACKSHARE="samba"
ADDRESS=`cat /var/run/smbgate/$1`
GROUP=`groups $1 | gawk '// { print $3 }'`
NM=`smbstatus -u $1 | grep $TRACKSHARE | wc -l`
if [ $NM -gt 0 ]; then
exit
fi
if [ -f /etc/smbgate/users/$1 ] ; then
/etc/smbgate/users/$1 $COMMAND $ADDRESS $EXTIF
else
if [ -f /etc/smbgate/groups/$GROUP ] ; then
/etc/smbgate/groups/$GROUP $COMMAND $ADDRESS $EXTIF
else
/etc/smbgate/users/default.sh $COMMAND $ADDRESS $EXTIF
fi
fi
rm -f /var/run/smbgate/$1
This script (netlogoff.sh) is intended to run when the user logs off
and will get the address from the /var/run/smbgate/user file which
will be passed as an argument to the /etc/smbgate/users/user script
which will update the firewall to the state desired when the user is
not logged in.
Some versions of Windows, such as Windows 2000, mount the tracking
share more than once per login. This may cause problems with the
netlogon.sh and netlogoff.sh, triggering the scripts more the once.
This can make a real mess. So, you may prefer to use a logout checking
script at cron instead of a netlogoff.sh script triggered by SAMBA.
Here is an example:
#!/bin/sh
# checklogout.sh
#
# usage:
# intended to run at cron (maybe each 10 minutes)
TRACKDIR="/var/run/smbgate"
DIRLENGTH=${#TRACKDIR}
TRACKSHARE="samba"
EXTIF='eth0'
COMMAND='-D'
if [ -d $TRACKDIR ]; then
for n in $TRACKDIR/*; do
[ -d $n ] && continue;
if [ -f $n ] ; then
IPADDRESS=`cat $n`
USERNAME=${n:$DIRLENGTH+1}
NMS=`smbstatus -u $USERNAME | grep $TRACKSHARE | grep $IPADDRESS | grep -v grep | wc -l`
if [ $NMS == 0 ] ; then
rm -f $n
GROUP=`groups $USERNAME | gawk '// { print $3 }'`
if [ -f /etc/smbgate/users/$USERNAME ] ; then
/etc/smbgate/users/$USERNAME $COMMAND $IPADDRESS $EXTIF
else
if [ -f /etc/smbgate/groups/$GROUP ] ; then
/etc/smbgate/groups/$GROUP $COMMAND $IPADDRESS $EXTIF
else
/etc/smbgate/users/default.sh $COMMAND $IPADDRESS $EXTIF
fi
fi
fi
else
exit 0
fi
done
fi
In that case you should remove the root postexec clause from the
tracking share on smb.conf:
root postexec = /usr/local/bin/netlogoff.sh %u
The following is a standard /etc/smbgate/users/user script. This is
the one which will actually modify the firewall rules.
#!/bin/sh
#
COMMAND=$1
ADDRESS=$2
EXTIF=$3
IPTABLES='/usr/sbin/iptables'
$IPTABLES $COMMAND POSTROUTING -t nat -s $ADDRESS -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
We should also have a default.sh script at /etc/smbgate/users/ to give
the gateway a default behavior.
#!/bin/sh
#
# default.sh
COMMAND=$1
ADDRESS=$2
EXTIF=$3
IPTABLES='/usr/sbin/iptables'
#$IPTABLES $COMMAND POSTROUTING -t nat -s $ADDRESS -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
exit 0
[1m4. An alternative solution[0m
The whole scheme of mounting a tracking share and triggering scripts
to update the firewall and waiting for them to be triggered again on
unmounting to reset the firewall rule may be too confusing and loose.
It may become even obsolete as the Samba project release new features.
The latest Samba release has the capability of listing the logged
users. I used this feature in a script to track the users and update
the firewall as they log in and out. This script does not require all
the work described on this text. It is very easy to use actually.
You can download the code from the project site at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/smbgate/
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/smbgate/>
[1m5. SSH setup[0m
You may want to run your PDC on one box and have another box as a
managed gateway for any reason. If so you must setup your gateway to
accept rsa authenticated logins without passwords from the PDC.
Take a look at www.openssh.org <http://www.openssh.org/manual.html>
for information on how to properly setup your ssh server and client
for this.
[1m5.1. Important[0m
You should read the ssh documentation and make shure that you fully
understand what you are doing when you setup rsa or any other kind of
cryptographic authentication.
If security isn't an issue, just use my example and go on.
[1m5.2. Key pair generation[0m
To create a key pair issue the following commands on the manchine
meant to be the PDC:
pdc:~# ssh-keygen -t rsa
Answer the questions and copy the resulting public key to the gateway
it self. Usually the public key goes to "~.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
pdc:~# cd .ssh
pdc:~# scp id_rsa.pub root@gateway:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys2
[1m5.3. SSH enabled logon script[0m
The following is a standard /etc/smbgate/users/user script modified to
use the ssh cryptographic authentication.
#!/bin/sh
#
COMMAND=$1
ADDRESS=$2
EXTIF=$3
IPTABLES='/sbin/iptables'
ssh root@gateway $IPTABLES $COMMAND POSTROUTING -t nat -s $ADDRESS -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
Note that the iptables binary in called through ssh at the "gateway".
Again, make sure that you read the ssh server documentation.
[1m6. Windows workstation setup[0m
[1m6.1. Introduction[0m
We will stick to setting up the network, user management and policies
on the Windows workstations.
I will not go through all those steps, naming each dialog box. I will
presume that if you can read and understand this document you can find
your way through that mess.
[1m6.2. Network protocols[0m
First, unless you really need, remove all network protocols but
TCP/IP. Even without their own protocol, Windows machines like to
broadcast a lot, and this doesn't please anyone. Anyway, with TCP/IP
who needs anything else?
[1m6.3. DHCP setup[0m
If you setup a DHCP server on your Linux box, remember that Windows
workstations can get the nameservers and gateway's address besides its
own IP address from it. So, you don't need to set all these items on
each workstation.
[1m6.4. Join your Linux server domain[0m
Configure the Windows workstation to log in a Domain, and give the
domain name of your Linux server. This is essential to the gateway
work.
You must know that in order to join some versions of Windows to a
SAMBA domain controller, you must create machine accounts in your
Linux PDC. Check the SAMBA documentation on how to setup your PDC to
the specific version of Windows which you have.
[1m6.4.1. Windows fo workgroups[0m
This version seems to need no special configuration to join the Linux
PDC domain.
The netlogon script shall be named "WfWg.bat" so when %a is translated
the right script is chosen.
Example:
REM WFWG.BAT
net use z: \\linux\samba /yes
[1m6.4.2. Windows 95/98/ME[0m
These versions also seems to need no special configuration to join the
Linux PDC domain.
The netlogon script shall be named "Win95.bat" so when %a is
translated the right script is chosen.
Example:
REM WIN95.BAT
net use z: \\linux\samba /yes
[1m6.4.3. Windows NT[0m
This version requires machine accounts at the Linux box. Check the
SAMBA documentation.
The netlogon script shall be named "WinNT.bat" so when %a is
translated the right script is chosen.
Example:
REM WINNT.BAT
net use z: \\linux\samba /yes /persistent:no
[1m6.4.4. Windows 2000[0m
This version requires machine accounts at the Linux box. Again, check
the SAMBA documentation.
The netlogon script shall be named "Win2K.bat" so when %a is
translated the right script is chosen.
Example:
REM WIN2K.BAT
net use z: \\linux\samba /yes /persistent:no
[1m6.4.5. Windows XP[0m
This version needs a machine account at the Linux box and a tweak at
the registry, as follows.
Locate the key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\RequireSignOrSeal".
The default value is 1. Set it to 0 and it will no more complain about
joining the domain.
If you have many workstation to configure create a file named
anything.reg with the following content and use it to modify the
"faulty" registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters]
"requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000
This version also needs an adjust at the logon script. Sometimes it
insists on making the mounting persistent. The netlogon script shall
be named "WinXP.bat" so when %a is translated the right script is
chosen.
Example:
REM WINXP.BAT
net use z: \\linux\samba /yes /persistent:no
[1m6.5. Policy editor[0m
There is a utility named policy editor bundled on the Windows CD. The
file name is poledit.exe. This tool, as the name suggest, allows to
create a user and system policy file.
Unfortunately, this tool does not generate a plain text configuration
file, so I can't place an example here.
Use the policy editor to create a policy to your workstations and
users. You should disable the local password cache and domain cache in
order to get some security. Save the policy file as config.pol and
place it at the netlogon share of your Linux server. In this way, your
Windows workstations will download and use the config.pol file to set
their policy. Of course this task must be done on a Windows machine.
If you don't use a config.pol file, your Windows workstations will
annoy you asking for a Windows password and you will become nuts
trying to synchronize and manage your Domain and Windows passwords.
It seems that the OS doesn't know that it joined a domain. You must
tell it and then you have to slap it in the face so it will believe
you.
[1m7. User management[0m
[1m7.1. Adding users[0m
Adding a Linux user by usual means and setting a samba password using
smbpasswd will work. If you have any doubt, just refer to the SAMBA
documentation. This is not a difficult issue.
[1m7.2. Password management[0m
I am issuing this a major topic because I couldn't learn yet how to
manage users and users' passwords from a Windows workstation without
using a web interface. I couldn't find and didn't know how to build
integrated tools to solve this problem. So, I am using a CGI program
to get it done.
Try the package at http://changepassword.sourceforge.net
<http://changepassword.sourceforge.net>, it seems to be a good choice.
[1m7.3. Granting or denying access to users[0m
As you could see in a previous section of this howto, the SAMBA daemon
will call a netlogon.sh script every time the tracking share is
mounted. This netlogon.sh script will call a script with the user's
name giving this script the ip address of the refered workstation as a
parameter. This user script will apply the desired rules.
For example if you want to give the user full access to internet:
#!/bin/sh
#
COMMAND=$1
ADDRESS=$2
EXTIF=$3
IPTABLES='/usr/sbin/iptables'
$IPTABLES $COMMAND POSTROUTING -t nat -s $ADDRESS -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
If you don't want to change anything to a particular user, just give
him an empty script:
#/bin/sh
#
exit 0
Or just don't create any script for the less privileged users, letting
them have the default.sh script, which would be empty as the previous
or just give limited access as follows:
#!/bin/sh
#
COMMAND=$1
ADDRESS=$2
EXTIF=$3
EXTIFADDRESS=$4
IPTABLES='/usr/sbin/iptables'
$IPTABLES $COMMAND POSTROUTING -t nat -s $ADDRESS -o $EXTIF --dport 25 -j SNAT --to-source $EXTIFADDRESS
$IPTABLES $COMMAND POSTROUTING -t nat -s $ADDRESS -o $EXTIF --dport 110 -j SNAT --to-source $EXTIFADDRESS
Remember that this script requires you to modify all the previous
scripts to include the extra parameter ou just modify the script
script. And remember that you will go nowhere whis this howto if you
don't understand iptables.
[1m8. Group management[0m
[1m8.1. Creating groups[0m
Just create your user groups in the Linux PDC and add the users to the
groups. This is it.
Remember that the example scripts in this howto will probably fail if
you have users belonging to more than one group. If you need this,
remember to adjust the scripts.
[1m8.2. Group policy[0m
You will need to define group specific scripts and place them in the
directory "/etc/smbgate/groups/". Remember that the script must be
named as the group, at least if you want to follow the examples in
this howto.
The default scheme of this howto is to check for a user script, then
for a group script and finally for the default script. If you want to
modify this behavior remember to adapt the netlogon.sh, netlogoff.sh
(or the checklogout.sh) scripts. The whole logic is in these scripts.

changing it is not allowed.
0. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it
can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers
to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee,
and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify
or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright
law.
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
Sections then there are none.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-
generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for
output purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose
title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",
"Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"
of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
no effect on the meaning of this License.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no
other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
you may publicly display copies.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you
as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the
full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible.
You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with
changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of
the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim
copying in other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
a computer-network location from which the general network-using
public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to
give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
Document.
4. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which
should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the
Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the
original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the
Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible
for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together
with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of
its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release
you from this requirement. C. State on the Title page the name of the
publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all
the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright
notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. G.
Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. H.
Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section
Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating
at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified
Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled
"History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year,
authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the
previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in
the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document,
and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous
versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History"
section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published
at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. For any
section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the
Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance
and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of
the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section
numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
titles. M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version. N. Do not retitle any
existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title
with any Invariant Section. O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-
Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through
arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes
a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by
arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you
may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History"
in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
"History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements",
and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
Entitled "Endorsements".
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
documents released under this License, and replace the individual
copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules
of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all
other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a
copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
document.
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright
resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
When the Document is included an aggregate, this License does not
apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
aggregate.
8. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
Document, and any Warrany Disclaimers, provided that you also include
the original English version of this License and the original versions
of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
title.
9. TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt
to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and
will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the
GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions
will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns. See
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and
license notices just after the title page:
Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy,
distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free
Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-
Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is
included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-
Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
permit their use in free software.
