Issue #9382 has been updated by James Turnbull. Description updated
---------------------------------------- Bug #9382: AIX cron non root user fails https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9382 Author: Mike Rawse Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Changing crontab entries for non root users on AIX does not work. The problem is that Util.execute sets the effective UID before the UID. This causes the setreuid system call to fail with EPERM because the effective UID is not root when trying to set the uid. Fix is to reverse the calls in Util.execute. <pre> # diff -c util.rb.orig util.rb *** util.rb.orig Thu Sep 8 11:40:48 2011 --- util.rb Thu Sep 8 11:43:22 2011 *************** *** 312,319 **** Process.gid = arguments[:gid] unless @@os == "Darwin" end if arguments[:uid] - Process.euid = arguments[:uid] Process.uid = arguments[:uid] unless @@os == "Darwin" end ENV['LANG'] = ENV['LC_ALL'] = ENV['LC_MESSAGES'] = ENV['LANGUAGE'] = 'C' if command.is_a?(Array) --- 312,319 ---- Process.gid = arguments[:gid] unless @@os == "Darwin" end </pre> if arguments[:uid] Process.uid = arguments[:uid] unless @@os == "Darwin" + Process.euid = arguments[:uid] end ENV['LANG'] = ENV['LC_ALL'] = ENV['LC_MESSAGES'] = ENV['LANGUAGE'] = 'C' if command.is_a?(Array) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
