Bug 1780028

Hi,
I fixed this issue as part of bug fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1775714

As part of the verification for the removal of rhsmd, all of the configurations and man page help related to rhsmd should also be removed.  Below are a few issues that should also be performed with the removal of rhsmd (which was technically done by bug 1775714 as indicated in comment 1).


Background information from the prior released subscription-manager-1.26.16-1 which was shipped with rhel-8.2...
[root@kvm-08-guest28 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.2 (Ootpa)
[root@kvm-08-guest28 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.26.16-1.el8.x86_64
[root@kvm-08-guest28 ~]# 
[root@kvm-08-guest28 ~]# rpm -ql subscription-manager | grep -i rhsmd
/etc/cron.daily/rhsmd      <==========  FYI: THIS IS TARGETED FOR REMOVAL BY THIS RFE
/usr/libexec/rhsmd         <==========  FYI: THIS IS TARGETED FOR REMOVAL BY THIS RFE
[root@kvm-08-guest28 ~]# 



Testing Version....
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.3 Beta (Ootpa)
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.27.8-1.el8.x86_64
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager --changelog | egrep "1780028|1775714"
- 1775714: Do not install rhsmd and rhsm-icon on rhel8; ENT-1959
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# 

_______________________________________________________
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# rpm -ql subscription-manager | grep rhsmd
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# 
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# ls /etc/cron.daily/rhsmd
ls: cannot access '/etc/cron.daily/rhsmd': No such file or directory
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# 
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# ls /usr/libexec/rhsmd
ls: cannot access '/usr/libexec/rhsmd': No such file or directory
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# 

VERIFIED: rhsmd is no longer installed and is not provided by subscription-manager-1.27.8-1

_______________________________________________________
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# grep -A1 -i rhsmd /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf
[rhsmd]
# The time in seconds we will allow the rhsmd cron job to run before terminating the process.
processTimeout = 300
--
# rhsm-app.rhsmd = DEBUG
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# 

FAILED: These configurations are now irrelevant.  There should be no more rhsmd processTimeout and debug configurations in rhsm.conf since "/etc/cron.daily/rhsmd" and "/usr/libexec/rhsmd" have been removed.

_______________________________________________________
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# man -P cat rhsm.conf | grep -A1 -i rhsmd
[RHSMD] OPTIONS
       processTimeout
           The time in seconds we will allow the rhsmd cron job to run before terminating
           the process.
--
           rhsmd, and rhsmcertd.  Note: Other keys in this section will override this value
           for the specified logger.
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# 


FAILED: This man page information is now irrelevant.  There should be no more rhsmd processTimeout and debug information in the man page for rhsm.conf.

_______________________________________________________
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# man -P cat subscription-manager | grep -i rhsmd
       (ex.  rhsmcertd and rhsmd ) do not provide ways to modify their environments.
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# 

FAILED: This man page information is now irrelevant.  There should be no more rhsmd processTimeout and debug information in the man page for subscription-manager.

_______________________________________________________
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# subscription-manager config --help | grep -i rhsmd
  --rhsmd.processtimeout=RHSMD.PROCESSTIMEOUT
                        Section: rhsmd, Name: processtimeout
[root@kvm-06-guest22 ~]# 

FAILED: This configuration is now irrelevant. There should be no need to be able to use the config mudule to set rhsmd.processTimeout.



Moving back to NEW/FailedQA to finish this request to remove rhsmd

As part of the verification for the removal of rhsmd, all of the configurations including the default values set in the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file should be removed.

[root@intel-chiefriver-02 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.27.13-1.el8.x86_64
[root@intel-chiefriver-02 ~]# rpm -q --verify subscription-manager
[root@intel-chiefriver-02 ~]# 
[root@intel-chiefriver-02 ~]# grep -A1 "rhsmd" /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf 
[rhsmd]
# The time in seconds we will allow the rhsmd cron job to run before terminating the process.
processTimeout = 300
--
# rhsm-app.rhsmd = DEBUG
[root@intel-chiefriver-02 ~]# 

All four of those rhsmd lines should be deleted from the default /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file
FailedQA
Moving back to NEW/FailedQA

Re-testing comment 7 on a fresh "new" install of subscription-manager where the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file did not previously exist...

[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.27.15-1.el8.x86_64
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager --changelog | egrep "1780028|1839199"
- 1839199: More rhsmd cleanup (wpoteat)
- 1780028: Remove man page entries for rhsmd (wpoteat)
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# 
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# rpm -q --verify subscription-manager
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# 
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# grep --ignore-case "rhsmd" /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf 
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# 
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# grep --ignore-case "processTimeout" /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf 
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# 
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# subscription-manager config --list | grep --ignore-case "rhsmd"
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# 
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# rpm -ql subscription-manager | grep --ignore-case "rhsmd"
[root@kvm-06-guest05 ~]# 

VERIFIED: on a fresh new install of subscription-manager, there are no more default configurations for removed process "rhsmd" and no more "rhsmd" executables.
