Package: salt-master Version: 2017.7.3+dfsg1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
After recent upgrade in Sid I've noticed that `salt` cannot execute commands due to permissions issues: ``` root@debian-sid:/media/cdrom# salt "*" test.ping Failed to authenticate! This is most likely because this user is not permitted to execute commands, but there is a small possibility that a disk error occurred (check disk/inode usage). ``` I have reproduced that with new `salt-master` installation on VM (also Sid). `journalctl -f -u salt-master` shows: ``` Feb 24 13:19:18 debian-sid salt-master[12807]: [WARNING ] Authentication failure of type "user" occurred. ``` Workaround is to create `/etc/salt/master.d/user.conf` with: ``` user: salt ``` Also, I had to delete /var/log/salt/master (or one could change ownership) so that after restarting salt-master could write to it due to: ``` Feb 24 13:21:08 debian-sid salt-master[13639]: [WARNING ] Failed to open log file, do you have permission to write to /var/log/salt/master? ``` Seems like a regression after #801396 ? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages salt-master depends on: ii adduser 3.117 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii python3 3.6.4-1 ii python3-crypto 2.6.1-8 ii python3-systemd 234-1 ii python3-zmq 16.0.2-2+b1 ii salt-common 2017.7.3+dfsg1-1 Versions of packages salt-master recommends: ii python3-pygit2 0.26.3-1 salt-master suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
