Description Martin Frodl 2015-10-30 12:08:04 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1276652 +++

Description of problem:

Some plugins collect the output of commands with paths containing a wildcard expression in their arguments. These wildcards are never expanded.

For instance, ipa plugin collects the output of the following command:

    ls -la /etc/dirsrv/slapd-*/schema

Having created a sample directory matching this pattern, the actual output of the ls command is:

# ls -la /etc/dirsrv/slapd-*/schema/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct 30 07:07 .
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Oct 30 07:07 ..

What sosreport collects, however, looks like this:

# cat sosreport-blabla/sos_commands/ipa/ls_-la_.etc.dirsrv.slapd-_.schema
ls: cannot access /etc/dirsrv/slapd-*/schema/: No such file or directory

There are other plugins affected by this bug, so far I know about md and smartcard.

This bug was not present sos-2.2-68.el6.noarch.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-3.2-35.el7.noarch
