[Bug 61899] Automatic home directory creation is apparently broken
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61899 --- Comment #13 from Marc A. Pelletier m...@uberbox.org --- Ah, that is normal behavior for NFS4, which deals in usernames and not user IDs. There are two ways around this: either make sure the username that needs to own shared files is known to the file server (in practice, is in LDAP) or have local users' homes not be on NFS (/usr/lib is a reasonable place for 'system' users, for instance). NFS4 does change the semantics of file ownership; rather than use user IDs and hope that they happen to match the same users on different clients, it relies on a central list of users for that. What I have done, in cases where it's reasonable to do so, is add global system users to LDAP; this makes everything work as expected and is considerably more reliable and rely on user creation from puppet. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

Also, if the Share home directories across instances is disabled, the home directory cannot be initialized on login.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61899 --- Comment #11 from Marc A. Pelletier m...@uberbox.org --- Yes, if there is no shared home, then it won't be able to mount a /home share. The puppet noise is annoying, but we haven't found a clean way to prevent that yet (whether or not the project requested shared homes is not visible from puppet). The warning is annoying but harmless. Christopher, can you give me a bit more detail? chown with what values report invalid argument, and on which share? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61899 --- Comment #12 from Christopher Johnson christopher.john...@wikimedia.de --- Marc, for example, adduser foo will fail if it is run as root, because the script chown's /home/foo. It is specific to /home only.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61899 --- Comment #4 from Tim Landscheidt t...@tim-landscheidt.de --- With scfc-test2, I tried logging in directly after adding to Tools and before /public/keys/scfc-test2 was created, and it just didn't accept the key, but it didn't half-create /home/scfc-test2. Also, shouldn't the NFS server a) use LDAP, so any changes are instantaneous and site-wide, and b) not look up user names? I assumed that NFS servers accept any uids/gids and (if so) only handle 0 differently. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

But also, we are using NFSv4; that doesn't just trust user IDs. :-) So yeah, I'm not sure what happened in those cases either.
