I just started experiencing a weird thing with my 2.9.1 xcat system. I have
changed some settings for my CentOS 7 stateless image to allow for custom
packages, synclist, etc. However, when I run the packimage command those
settings go away:

The initial settings:

[root@gromit var]#  lsdef -t osimage centos7-x86_64-netboot-compute
Object name: centos7-x86_64-netboot-compute
    exlist=/install/custom/netboot/centos7/compute.centos7.exlist
    imagetype=linux
    osarch=x86_64
    osname=Linux
    osvers=centos7
    otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/centos7/x86_64
    otherpkglist=/install/custom/netboot/centos7/compute.otherpkgs.pkglist
    permission=755
    pkgdir=/install/centos7/x86_64
    pkglist=/install/custom/netboot/centos7/compute.centos7.pkglist
    postinstall=/install/custom/netboot/centos7/compute.centos7.postinstall
    profile=compute
    provmethod=netboot
    rootimgdir=/install/netboot/centos7/x86_64/compute


Now run packimage:

[root@gromit var]# packimage -o centos7 -p compute -a x86_64

Packing contents of /install/netboot/centos7/x86_64/compute/rootimg


Now look at the definitions again:

[root@gromit var]#  lsdef -t osimage centos7-x86_64-netboot-compute
Object name: centos7-x86_64-netboot-compute
    exlist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/centos/compute.centos7.exlist
    imagetype=linux
    osarch=x86_64
    osname=Linux
    osvers=centos7
    otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/centos7/x86_64
    permission=755
    pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/centos/compute.centos7.pkglist

postinstall=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/centos/compute.centos7.postinstall
    profile=compute
    provmethod=netboot
    rootimgdir=/install/netboot/centos7/x86_64/compute

So it reset exlist, pkglist and postinstall, and erased the setting for
otherpkglist.

Also, now after building a new image it is asking for a password when root
tries logging into a node.

Has anyone seen these things before? Any fixes?

Thanks,

Steve
