Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2017:1191 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Satellite 6.2.9 Async Bug Release 2017-05-01 17:49:42 UTC

Description Martijn ten Heuvel 2016-10-24 15:07:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
When running katello-backup /var/tmp (example) it changes ownership & rights of that directory

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@satellite62 virt-who.d]# yum provides /bin/katello-backup
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
katello-common-3.0.0-13.el7sat.noarch : Common runtime components of katello
Repo        : @rhel-7-server-satellite-6.2-rpms
Matched from:
Filename    : /bin/katello-backup

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to satellite62 server.
2. become root
3. run katello-backup --skip-pulp-content /var/tmp

Actual results:
Ownership of /var/tmp is changed to: 
drwxrwx---. 2 root          postgres    

which consequently breaks the startup of foreman-tasks

Expected results:
Don't change ownership of existing directories.

Additional info:
Suggested solution:
- Don't change ownership.
- If cared about ownership for some reason, fail with suggestion on ownership and/or creation of a new directory

Please add verifications steps for this bug to help QE verify
Comment 6 Christine Fouant 2017-03-22 13:26:35 UTC 
Verification steps:

- Choose an existing directory to back up to (i.e. /tmp/backup), look at its ownership values
- Create a backup as root pointing at that existing directory (i.e. # katello-backup /tmp/backup)
- Verify the existing directory has its original ownership values (i.e. /tmp/backup ownership has not changed since the backup initiated)
Comment 7 Peter Ondrejka 2017-03-24 12:35:37 UTC 
Verified on Sat 6.2.9-1, as katello-backup now dumps data into a subdirectory, the destination's ownership is not altered. Checked with /var/tmp:

~]# ll /var
drwxrwxrwt.  4 root root  4096 Mar 24 08:19 tmp
...

~]# katello-backup --skip-pulp-content /var/tmp
...


~]# ll /var
drwxrwxrwt.  5 root root  4096 Mar 24 08:23 tmp

 ~]# ll /var/tmp
drwxrwx---. 2 root postgres 4096 Mar 24 08:23 katello-backup-2017-03-24T08:22:33-04:00
