Fixed In Version: 5.5.0.11
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, there were permission denied errors when logging in with non-root users. This patch fixes the cfme-gemset RPM spec by separating the parts of the enable script that are for one-time setup into a setup script, and calling the setup script from the kickstart.

====================================================

The file under /etc/profile.d called evm.sh:

[test@test_01 profile.d]$ cat evm.sh
[[ -s "/etc/default/evm" ]] && source "/etc/default/evm"

# Aliases:
alias vmdb='cd /var/www/miq/vmdb'


Under /etc/default/evm there are three scripts 
====================================================
[test@test_01 default]$ ls -lrth
total 8.0K
-rw-------. 1 root root  119 Mar 27  2015 useradd
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.8K Aug 26 06:07 nss
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   40 Oct 29 18:00 evm -> /var/www/miq/system/LINK/etc/default/evm
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   55 Oct 29 18:00 evm_productization -> /var/www/miq/system/LINK/etc/default/evm_productization
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   48 Oct 29 18:00 evm_bundler -> /var/www/miq/system/LINK/etc/default/evm_bundler
====================================================

When digging deeper and sourcing /etc/default/evm_productization it appears that sourcing /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/enable is the culprit (shown below)
====================================================
[test@dhcp181-37 default]$ cat evm_productization 
[[ -s /opt/rh/ruby200/enable ]] && source /opt/rh/ruby200/enable
[[ -s /opt/rh/v8314/enable ]] && source /opt/rh/v8314/enable
[[ -s /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/enable ]] && source /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/enable
====================================================

It seems that this file should not be sourced and should not be run on every user login as this could cause issues. Also, why is this being run while logging in as a non-root user?

Comment 2 Jason Frey 2015-11-05 15:51:22 UTC
Jared,

What is the use case for logging in as a non-root user?

Comment 3 Jared Deubel 2015-11-06 21:20:04 UTC
Root logins are disabled on there systems, users log in and issue commands via sudo.

Comment 4 Jason Frey 2015-11-17 22:31:02 UTC
Related to BZ1278076

Fixed in our cfme-gemset RPM spec by separating the parts of the enable script that are really for one-time setup into a setup script, and calling the setup script from the kickstart.
