Strange problem using hints to administer privileges

13 Jun 2011

      Hello to the whole list,
I'm experiencing a big and strange problem with the hints file. First I'll
explain what I need to do.
The users can access only to the machines of some companies OR to all the
machine of the same kind, for example I could have user FOO who can have
access only to the machines of customer custA and custB and is able to
manage all the firewalls of all the customers. To do that I implemented a
set of rules in hints which
1) Set the permissions for the logging user
2) Recognize the type of machine which the user is trying to access
3) Check the permissions relating the customers and sets the (custom)
attribute itfgrant to "ok" if the user can log onto that machine
4) Check the permissions relating the type of machine and sets the (custom)
attribute itfgrant to "ok" if the user can log onto that machine*
*
Then in the users file I check that attribute (itfgrant) along with the
password to grant the access.

The problem is that for each user the first login after the starting of the
server is evaluated in the right way, with the right permissions. All the
successive logins carry the same result as the first one! In other words if
the first login resulted in a Access-Accept then EVERY successive login from
that user will result in a Access-Accept. The same thing happens if the
first login resulted in a Access-Reject.
Restarting the server fixes the behaviour only for another login, then I
have to restart the server again.

Glossary:
itfcliente           contains the permissions for a given user
itfgrant             is used to grant access
itfAll-*              are used like booleans to give permissions to all the
machines of a kind
itfclient            contains the name ho the customer which the machine
belongs (like an huntgroup)

Here is the hints file
