Hi,
I'm trying to fix latest issues in oscar_wizard STEP8 (tests), and one of them
is trying to test SSH with the oscartst user.
Unfortunately, without NIS or ldap config on nodes, this account does not
exists.
With the new oscar, we have munge that can be used with torque/maui or maybe
with SGE, thus a NIS or ldap auth may not be required.
Nevertheless, the ssh test fails because ssh doesn't know about munge and it
needs to be kept in the case where the sysadmin still want to add NIS or ldap
conf in the future.
Thus, we need to have the oscartst account on the nodes.
In your opinion, what is the best way to achieve this?
1/ in the image post install: grep oscartst /etc/passwd >> $image/etc/passwd ?
Does oscartst already exists at this stage?
2/ In the sync_files.conf, uncomment the /etc/passwd group and shadow files?
POSSIBLE ISSUE: if system accounts have variable ids (like on old Mandriva) we
can brea things. QUESTION: does your distro have constant system account ids?
(rhel likes seems to have that, but does debian like have that? SuSE?)
3/ When creating the oscartst account, propagate it to the nodes and the image?
Thanks for any input.
PS: I think solution 3 is the safest, but not the simplest.
Best regards,
Olivier.
