Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

[CI] [GATING] [DONE] rng-tools-6.14-5.git.b2b7934e.el8_6 passed gating because all required tests passed
rng-tools-6.14-5.git.b2b7934e.el8_6 successfully moved from rhel-8.6.0-z-gate into rhel-8.6.0-z-candidate

brew: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=44869737
osci: https://dashboard.osci.redhat.com/#/artifact/brew-build/aid/44869737

yes, the test plan is the same as in bz2077036#c4.

Comment 6 Vladislav Dronov 2022-04-29 09:44:26 UTC
additional test step for a new build:

1) there were an issue with user/group creation in certain cases. test:

set "USERGROUPS_ENAB no" in /etc/login.defs

ensure no rngd user and group exist, check the USERGROUPS_ENAB setting:

# getent passwd rngd ; getent group rngd ; grep USERGROUPS_ENAB /etc/login.defs ; id rngd
USERGROUPS_ENAB no
id: ‘rngd’: no such user

install a package

ensure user and group exist and rngd user has rngd group (NOT some other) with the same command:

# getent passwd rngd ; getent group rngd ; grep USERGROUPS_ENAB /etc/login.defs ; id rngd

run the service. it should start without errors:
(a pause is needed for the jitter lib to initialize)

systemctl start rngd ; sleep 5 ; systemctl status rngd
