** Attachment added: "/var/lib/tftpboot after importing the distro" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/967815/+attachment/2957201/+files/tftpboot.dir-after
** Description changed: Every so often -- in fact whenever a new debian-installer is released for Precise -- we re-import the distro. In the process, the TFTP boot files are regenerated. Somehow this changes /var/lib/tftpboot permissions on subdirectories and files. The result is NOT guaranteed to be bad, and it is NOT guaranteed to affect the same directories and files in the same way. For example, the last occurence (today) shows only this change: - 55,56c55,56 < drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2012-03-22 23:13 precise-i386 < drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2012-03-22 23:13 precise-x86_64 --- > d-w---x--- 2 root root 4096 2012-03-28 04:31 precise-i386 > d-w---x--- 2 root root 4096 2012-03-28 04:31 precise-x86_64 Notice the completely hosed permissions on the new directories. As a result PXE booting may fail (in this case DID fail). This is a serious issue, impacting automated testing. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 + WORKAROUND: + + find /var/lib/tftpboot -type d -exec sudo chmod 755 {} \; + find /var/lib/tftpboot -type f -exec sudo chmod 644 {} \; + + but this is rather ridiculous ;-) + + ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: cobbler 2.1.0+git20110602-0ubuntu26.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-server 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-server x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 - Date: Wed Mar 28 21:52:56 2012 - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110426) - PackageArchitecture: all - SourcePackage: cobbler - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-11-16 (133 days ago) + Date: Wed Mar 28 21:52:56 2012InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110426) + PackageArchitecture: allSourcePackage: cobblerUpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-11-16 (133 days ago) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967815 Title: /var/lib/tftpboot directory permissions destroyed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/967815/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
