Hello, I've got a problem regarding some uid inside a stateless image.
I've got my xcat server with chrony installed: $ grep chrony /etc/passwd chrony:x:995:992::/var/lib/chrony:/sbin/nologin The chrony user has uid 995 and gid 992 on the xcat server. Inside the stateless image, just after the genimage (chrony is installed using a pkglist), the chrony user has uid 994 and gid 990: $ grep chrony /install/image/netboot/cpu/netboot-cpu-centos8.1/img/rootimg/etc/passwd chrony:x:994:990::/var/lib/chrony:/sbin/nologin The problem is that the chrony package installation is creating a /var/lib/chrony directory in the rootimg directory using the chrony user from the xcat host and not the one from the image: $ ls -nd /install/image/netboot/cpu/netboot-cpu-centos8.1/img/rootimg/var/lib/chrony/ drwxr-xr-x 2 995 992 6 Nov 19 2019 /install/image/netboot/cpu/netboot-cpu-centos8.1/img/rootimg/var/lib/chrony/ It should be 994:990. This is problematic, because when I boot on the image, the /var/lib/chrony directory owner is 'sssd' and group is 'systemd-coredump'. I've only spotted this specific problem, but it could potentially concerns other users/groups. I'd rather not just 'fixing' the owner/group of this directory. One solution could be to remove all packages that create users from the pkglist and install them after directory in the chroot. It seems to me quite difficult to synchronize *system* user/group on the xcat server and within the images. It basically depends on the package order installation. So I was wondering if I was doing something wrong here ? Maybe I missed something. Thank you, Jean-Baptiste _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
