Introduce the SecurityAgent, which assesses and enforces system security

Luc Everse requested to merge system-security into development

Description

Adds a Security Agent to the system, which performs regular security checks:

  • The user running AuTA may not be root
  • The authentication database should not be world-accessible (any of rwx)
  • The authentication database should not be executable by anyone
  • The default privileged user's passwords should be changed

Changes

None.

Additions

  • The SecurityAgent service
  • The system now performs an initial security check before it allows workers to connect
  • Repeated checks happen every 30 minutes
  • A hasUser method for the database which is slightly faster than full user queries

Test and Review

Closes #128 (closed)
