Package: fai-client
Version: 4.0.6
Severity: important
Hello,
When using fai-client, the file, /etc/idmapd.conf is incorrectly
created/altered to exist without entries for Nobody-User, and
Nobody-Group. (If the nfs root provides this file, the entries for
these will be removed.)
In particular the program /usr/sbin/fai contains the following code:
[ "$FAI_ROOT" = '/' ] && ROOTCMD=
target=$FAI_ROOT
AINSL_TARGET=$FAI_ROOT
...
# NFS v4 support
sed -i -e '/Nobody-/d' /etc/idmapd.conf
ainsl -v /etc/idmapd.conf 'Nobody-User = root'
ainsl -v /etc/idmapd.conf 'Nobody-Group = root'
At the point this is run, my understanding is that the AINSL_TARGET
isn't set up properly. The effect is that the sed removes the lines
from idmapd.con, and then the ainsl lines that should add it back in,
instead indicate that the file to change doesn't exist.
I don't believe ainsl should be used here (and even if it was right
here, it then makes the sed incorrect, because the sed file name isn't
prefixed with the target.
In my case, I have a hook called confdir.DEFAULT
that attempts to get idmapd going before I map the config space.
basically containing the following:
modprobe nfsd
mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
/usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd -v
This, along with the breakage in the idmapd.conf file ends up with the
following error in fai.log:
Calling hook: confdir.DEFAULT
rpc.idmapd: Could not find group "nobody"
confdir.DEFAULT FAILED with exit code 1.
