Description Clayton Coleman 2020-03-13 19:09:05 UTC

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1793287 removed the writable /etc/passwd which is required by the test infra.  I am reverting the change and back porting to 4.4 because this blocks our disruptive testing.

The underlying issue is not a cve, it is trivial for any container launcher to gain control of /etc/passwd.  The tests image is intended for a wide range of uses and this use is deliberate until we have moved all test infra to a 4.x version.

This merged but is not something QE verifies.
