Asterisks in provisioning templates subject to shell-expansion
Last modified: 2018-02-21 11:51:07 EST
Description of problem: There are several occurrences in the provisioning templates and snippets on the satellite where asterisks are used. One example is in the subscription_manager_registration snippet where the following line is executed subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-*-satellite-tools-*-rpms This is subject to shell-expansion, i.e. if a file matching the pattern above would exist for one reasons or another, the asterisks would be expanded and the provisioning would fail with a very hard-to-debug reason. To make the line safe, the asterisks could e.g. be protected by backslash characters Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-6.1.7
I fully agree with David, and it is a simple fix: subscription-manager repos --enable='rhel-*-satellite-tools-*-rpms' Good catch David :-)
Moving 6.2 bugs out to sat-backlog.
Verified in Sat 6.3 snap 13
