Description Marius Vollmer 2016-01-12 06:23:51 EST

Description of problem:

Running rhel-atomic-cloud-7.2-10.x86_64.qcow2 gives me a /tmp that is read-only for non-root:

    # ls -rld /tmp /sysroot/tmp
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   11 Jan 12 09:10 /tmp -> sysroot/tmp
    drwxr-xr-t. 7 root root 4096 Jan 12 10:50 /sysroot/tmp

I would expect to get rwxrwxrwxt for /sysroot/tmp, as on Fedora Atomic.


This is an issue for the Cockpit integration tests.  These tests mostly run as a non-root wheel user.

Are non-root users not supposed to exist in a RHEL Atomic Host?  If so, we can change the tests to run as root (on RHEL-AH only).

We'll backport the patch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1276775
