A new release of gpupdate has been published, a tool for applying group policies in the 'Alt' distributions. The gpupdate mechanisms apply group policies on client machines both at the system level and for individual users. The gpupdate tool is part of the alternative solution by 'Basalt SPO' for implementing Active Directory domain infrastructure on Linux. The application supports operation in a domain infrastructure of MS AD or Samba DC. The gpupdate code is written in Python and is distributed under the GPLv3+ license. You can install gpupdate from the stable p10 branch of the ALT repositories. <\/p>\n

The operation of gpupdate is based on the implementation of group policies in Linux, where policies are stored in the SysVol directory on controllers. domain<\/a>. GPOA, a submodule of gpupdate, accesses the SysVol of the domain controller and loads all the group policy templates GPT for the system and users (Machine and User directories) and all information from the directories. The gpupdate tool processes .pol files and builds a database. From this registry, GPOA retrieves its data, sorts, processes it, and begins to sequentially launch the 'appliers' modules. <\/p>\n

Each of these modules handles its part of applying settings. For instance, there are modules related to system kernel settings, desktop settings, peripherals, browser settings, and printer settings. Each module takes the relevant portion of the database. For example, the applier for firefox will search the database for the line with firefox and only process that part of the database \u2014 specifically, it will create a json file in the directory \/etc\/firefox\/policies (as it is structured in Linux). Then, when the web browser is launched, it accesses this directory and invokes all settings. <\/p>\n
