SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The directive specifies whether to prevent commands and tags (such as [file]) to read absolute filenames (any files) on the system. In cases where the Interchange daemon has no permission to read the file , this directive — of course — has no influence.

This should be enabled in multiuser environments to minimize security problems.

DIRECTIVE TYPE AND DEFAULT VALUE

Global directive

EXAMPLES

NoAbsolute Yes

NOTES

Note that this does not apply to tests for whether a file exists (as one would do with [if file ...] or similar). Such operations are allowed regardless of NoAbsolute.

AVAILABILITY

NoAbsolute is available in Interchange versions:

4.6.0-5.9.0 (git-head)

SOURCE

Interchange 5.9.0:

['NoAbsolute',     'yesno',       'No'],

sub parse_yesno {
my($var, $value) = @_;
$_ = $value;
if (m/^y/i || m/^t/i || m/^1/ || m/^on/i) {
  return 1;
}
elsif (m/^n/i || m/^f/i || m/^0/ || m/^of/i) {
  return 0;
}
else {
  config_error("Use 'yes' or 'no' for the $var directive\n");
}
}
