Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Description of problem:
ccs will not generate cacert.pem and privkey.pem files in ~/.ccs, if it's running for a first time on read-only NFS filesystem

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ccs-0.16.2-55.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. RHEL6.3 fresh install or manually remove ~/.ccs directory
2. service start ricci
3. mount some NFS storage as readonly and change current directory into it
3. ccs --lsmisc -h localhost

sh: 1: Read-only file system
Error opening Private Key /root/.ccs/privkey.pem
139859086989128:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:355:fopen('/root/.ccs/privkey.pem','r')
139859086989128:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:bss_file.c:357:
unable to load Private Key
Unable to connect to localhost, make sure the ricci server is started.

4. no certificates were generated
# ls /root/.ccs
cacert.config

  
Actual results:

Expected results:
ccs will generate certificates in any case
