Open /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid 2. Edit value of field 'username'. Add '/' character in username. e.g. <name>username</name> <value><string>abc/xyz</string></value> 3. Run command # sosreport Actual results: Sosreport is giving following error /bin/sh: /tmp/sosreport-ABCD/XYZ-20111230154705.tar.xz: No such file or directory /bin/tar: -: Cannot write: Broken pipe /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/sosreport", line 23, in <module> sosreport(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sos/sosreport.py", line 843, in sosreport GlobalVars.policy.displayResults() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sos/policyredhat.py", line 329, in displayResults fp = open(self.report_file, "r") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/sosreport-ABCD/XYZ-20111230154705.tar.xz' Expected results: Sosreport should trim down character '/' from rhn username and continue..

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: * Previous releases of sos used inconsistent input sanitization rules depending on whether user name and case information was supplied interactively or read from system configuration files * This caused sos to fail to properly sanitize certain invalid strings when read from configuration files and to apply different sanitization to the same strings when input interactively * All name and number sanitization is now carried out in a single location and all input routines have been modified to use these routines * Name and number sanitization rules are now applied consistently regardless of the source of the data
