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 Pavel Studeník 2017-01-27 12:50:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
Default mode permissions of file up2date from new installed packages is 644. but after registration to Satellite 5 the mode permissions of the file were changed to 600.

I am not sure what is correct mode, everyone can read this file or not. But the permissions should be same after registration. 

And default configure file up2date doesn't contain following default options that were added after registration to ../up2date

proxyPassword[comment]=The password to use for an authenticated proxy
proxyPassword=

enableProxyAuth[comment]=To use an authenticated proxy or not
enableProxyAuth=0

proxyUser[comment]=The username for an authenticated proxy
proxyUser=

File /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid has set 600 mode and I guess that it is good, because it contains ID of system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-client-tools-1.0.0.1-43.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rm /etc/sysconfig/rhn/*
2. yum reinstall rhn-client rhn-setup rhn-check
3. ll -Z /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date 
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:rhnsd_conf_t:s0 /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
4. rhnreg_ks ..
5. ll -Z /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date 
-rw-------. root root system_u:object_r:rhnsd_conf_t:s0 /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
6. rpm -V rhn-client-tools-1.0.0.1-39.el6.noarch
.M.......  c /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

Actual results:
mode permissions were changed 
644 -> 600

missing defaults values in configure file

Expected results:
mode permissions are equal 

default ../rhn/up2date contains all default configurations
Comment 2 Pavel Studeník 2017-01-27 13:24:24 UTC 
On RHEL 7 the permissions were not changed and they stay same.

rhn-client-tools-2.0.2-8.el7.noarch

before: 
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:rhnsd_conf_t:s0 /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

after:
-rw-------. root root unconfined_u:object_r:rhnsd_conf_t:s0 systemid
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:rhnsd_conf_t:s0 up2date

Comment 5 Pavel Studeník 2017-12-13 11:26:16 UTC 
Right. I suppose that it is not regression for RHEL6. (6.8, 6.9)

>> ll /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
-rw-------. 1 root root 2042 Dec 12 19:26 /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

>> rpm -V rhn-client-tools
.M.......  c /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
>> rpm -q rhn-client-tools
rhn-client-tools-1.0.0.1-43.el6.noarch
