Description of problem: QE is requesting a modification to ccs_sync so we can automate its setup. ccs_sync now asks for the ricci password for every host using the getpass(3) function. This function opens /dev/tty which makes piping in the password via stdin ineffective. It is also marked obsolete, "Do not use it." in the man page. The getpass info page[1] includes example code for writing a substitute. [1] http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/getpass.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ricci-0.16.2-28.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yes riccipasswd | passwd ricci 2. yes riccipasswd | ccs_sync 3. ccs_sync prompts for password on /dev/tty Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Seems reasonable to me, ccs_sync should be able to be able to get the password from a script.
I've updated ricci (and ccs_sync) to properly accept piped input for passwords. Please let me know if this doesn't work.
How to test: [root@ask-03 ~]# yes "password" | ccs_sync You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on ask-03 Password: [root@ask-03 ~]# With the old ccs_sync it would just hang on the password and not actually propagate the files.
You'll also want to clear out any cached ricci certificates, so on all the ricci nodes run the following commands: rm -f /var/lib/ricci/certs/clients/client_cert_* service ricci restart
Verified with ricci-0.16.2-30.el6.x86_64. [root@buzz-02 cluster]# yes riccipass | passwd ricci Changing password for user ricci. New password: Retype new password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@buzz-02 cluster]# yes riccipass | ccs_sync You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-02 Password: You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-05 Password: You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-04 Password: You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-03 Password: You have not authenticated to the ricci daemon on buzz-01 Password: [root@buzz-02 cluster]# ccs_sync [root@buzz-02 cluster]#
