RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
QE is requesting a modification to ccs_sync so we can automate its setup. ccs_sync now asks for the ricci password for every host using the getpass(3) function. This function opens /dev/tty which makes piping in the password via stdin ineffective. It is also marked obsolete, "Do not use it." in the man page.
The getpass info page[1] includes example code for writing a substitute.
[1] http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/getpass.html
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ricci-0.16.2-28.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. yes riccipasswd | passwd ricci
2. yes riccipasswd | ccs_sync
3. ccs_sync prompts for password on /dev/tty
Actual results:
Expected results:
Additional info:
How to test:
[root@ask-03 ~]# yes "password" | ccs_sync
You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on ask-03
Password:
[root@ask-03 ~]#
With the old ccs_sync it would just hang on the password and not actually propagate the files.
You'll also want to clear out any cached ricci certificates, so on all the ricci nodes run the following commands:
rm -f /var/lib/ricci/certs/clients/client_cert_*
service ricci restart
Verified with ricci-0.16.2-30.el6.x86_64.
[root@buzz-02 cluster]# yes riccipass | passwd ricci
Changing password for user ricci.
New password: Retype new password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@buzz-02 cluster]# yes riccipass | ccs_sync
You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-02
Password:
You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-05
Password:
You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-04
Password:
You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-03
Password:
You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-01
Password:
[root@buzz-02 cluster]# ccs_sync
