Description Pablo Alonso Rodriguez 2022-07-14 11:29:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

If a cluster that was created without SSH keys in install-config is added SSH keys post-install, machine-config-daemon creates the "~core/.ssh" folder owned by "root" and not by "core" user, which is wrong and doesn't even mimic ignition behavior (ignition creates the folder with right "core" owner).

Version-Release number of MCO (Machine Config Operator) (if applicable):

4.10.18

Platform (AWS, VSphere, Metal, etc.):

Any

Are you certain that the root cause of the issue being reported is the MCO (Machine Config Operator)?
(Y/N/Not sure): Yes, of course.

How reproducible:

Always

Did you catch this issue by running a Jenkins job? If yes, please list:
No

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a cluster without SSH keys
2. Add a SSH key by following https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3868301 (which creates the very same machineconfig than the installation program)
3.

Actual results:

~core/.ssh folder owned by root on existing nodes, which is different behavior than ignition (which creates the folder owned by core)

Expected results:

~core/.ssh owned by core user, like ignition does.

Additional info:

If a new worker is added after having applied the ssh keys machineconfig, its "~core/.ssh" folder has right ownership, because it is created by ignition and not by machine-config-daemon. The issue only impacts the nodes that existed by the time the machine-config with ssh keys is created.
