The terminal gets the permissions of the user running the terminal. If ran as root it auths using PAM and if successful it does setuid().

When sharing users pass around URLS (with an UUID) for that terminal, with the permissions of the user that started it.

As this looks like advertishment to me, I will post about my own UNIX web terminal emulator. Its C, executable only 100kb for the executable with everything contained, and many of the goodies from GateOne (multiple sessions, session attached to user, not browser window...) It also even has colaborative terminal, where two users can attach to the same terminal. All AGPLv3. https://github.com/davidmoreno/onion/tree/master/examples/oterm

ACTA Signed By 8 of 11 Participating Countries 213

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 20, 2011 @08:52AM from the authority-to-engage-in-trainwrecks dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this news on the ACTA treaty, straight from the EFF's release on the news: "On Saturday October 1st, eight countries (the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea) signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) in Tokyo, Japan. Three of the participating countries (the European Union, Mexico, and Switzerland) have not yet signed the treaty, but have issued a joint statement affirming their intentions to sign it 'as soon as practicable.' ACTA will remain open for signature until May 2013. While the treaty's title might suggest that it deals only with counterfeit physical goods such as medicines, it is in fact far broader in scope. ACTA contains new potential obligations for Internet intermediaries, requiring them to police the Internet and their users, which in turn pose significant concerns for citizens' privacy, freedom of expression, and fair use rights." Update: 10/20 13:24 GMT by T : As several readers have pointed out, the quoted news from the EFF describes the EU as a country; I'm sure they know it's not.

There are several projects that do something similar, for example oterm (https://github.com/davidmoreno/onion/wiki/Oterm. Disclaimer: its my project). This one just need 80kb of a executable, everything included. We have used it succesfully on some released products, as the Aisoy1 Robot, although is disabled by default. There are other, mostly written in python, but my google-fu is not working today. Also FireSSH was there before. On gate one the only new thing is that you dont get access to a computer but to a ssh session. Next time I know that whenever I do something remotely new (although I know there are similar things) I have to post to slashdot.
