I didn't want to submit a bug until I know a bit more about this issue.
We use pdsh here quite a bit. Our systems (200+) are on SciLinux 6.6,
6.7, 7.1 and 7.2. We're just about finished transitioning from an old
NIS setup to FreeIPA (4.2.0-15) and have noticed that the netgroups
defined in FreeIPA aren't being seen in pdsh.
For instance, I've defined four hostgroups linux_af, linux_gm, linux_ns
and linux_tz. Hosts are put into one of those according to the first
letter of the hostname. I've also defined a netgroup, all_linux, that
combines those four host groups into one netgroup.
If I run "pdsh -l root -g linux_af" it works just fine. But running
"pdsh -l root -g all_linux" I get this:
[root@host ~]# pdsh -l root -g all_linux
pdsh@host: no remote hosts specified
That system is on SL6.7 with pdsh-2.26-4.el6.x86_64,
pdsh-rcmd-ssh-2.26-4.el6.x86_64 and pdsh-mod-netgroup-2.26-4.el6.x86_64
installed. I tried from a SL7.2 system with the same packages but
version 2.31-1 installed and got the same results.
On a Fedora 23 system, using 2.31-4, everything seems to work just fine
with both the hostgroup and the netgroup.
Is this something that I should report as a bug, or is it just the
expected behaviors from those different versions of pdsh?
