Description of problem: According to BZ#460547, all occurrences of "su -" shall be replaced by "runuser" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090820.1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. grep -r "su -" ./<path-to-spacewalk-git-directory> Results: ... ./backend/satellite_tools/spacewalk-debug: /bin/su - oracle -c "/usr/bin/db-control report" > $DIR/db-control-report ./web/modules/dobby/scripts/db-control: $cli->fatal("Error: please run this command as the $username user ('su - oracle')."); ... (Not all of the grep results have to be replaced.) Additional info: All necessary info in BZ#460547.
Fixed in spacewalk.git commit 83d6be2bc585ae04178c12334c3b5d219335ca38 I left untouched: monitoring/PerlModules/NP/Probe/rhn-runprobe: print "Please 'su - nocpulse' to run this program as uid $1 may not run /opt/home/nocpulse/bin/runprobe.pl.\n"; monitoring/rhnmd/rhnmd.init.SUSE:SU="/bin/su -s /bin/bash - nocpulse -c" monitoring/rhnmd/rhnmd.init.SUSE: /bin/su -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -q -t dsa -N '' -f $IDENTITY" - nocpulse web/modules/dobby/scripts/db-control: $cli->fatal("Error: please run this command as the $username user ('su - oracle')."); I did not changed those suse bits, because I'm not sure if SUSE has runuser. I did not changed rest, because it may be run by ordinary user, while runuser is intended only for root.
The fix 83d6be2bc585ae04178c12334c3b5d219335ca38 became obsolete by fix for bug 828804 where we removed the user switch altogether: 5474173de9555402c9175a016c2d1491404b81e0. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 828804 ***
