Daniel De Graaf c292679c5c Label-based security on privileged globals
This adds a command (security_label) which is used to allow or deny access to
privileged interfaces on a client-by-client basis. If no security configuration
it present, all privileged operations are allowed to all clients.

 - "security_label deny default *" will deny clients access to all privileged
   operations
 - "security_label set default layer_shell" will overwrite the access list for
   the label "default" and only allow access to the layer_shell interface
 - "security_label permit recorder screencopy_manager" allows connections that
   have the label "recorder" access to screencopy_manager in addition to the
   current permissions of the "recorder" label

If a client does not have a label or if the label's permissions were not
defined using security_label, the permissions for the "default" label are used;
if no definition for "default" is present, all interfaces are allowed.

Using permit or deny on a new label does not copy the default.

The security configuration state is reset on a config reload (similar to the
assign and for_window lists).  Currently, the security policy is only enforced
during the binding or enumeration of global resources; existing handles to
privileged interfaces are not invalided by a change in policy, and existing
clients are not informed of the presence of newly available interfaces.

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

Compiling from Source

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre2
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

* Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install

On systems without logind nor seatd, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
