Hello, this is probably to the developers. I’m deploying FreeIPA clients in automated fashion and hit an issue on some ancillary softwares, like ipa-client-automount.
After a successful manual join of a FreeIPA client, this command specifically fails, saying that the machine isn’t joined to FreeIPA: "IPA client is not configured on this system”. But if we try to run ipa-client-install, even if I didn’t used it at first time, it says it’s already joined: "IPA client is already configured on this system”. So it’s probably some issue on the checking routines of those softwares. Digging further I was able to nail it down to a specific directory that ipa-client-automount checks during execution: /var/lib/ipa/sysrestore/ This directory is empty when the machine is joined manually. But the verification method used by ipa-client-automount is to look at this directory and get the contents, or the size, of it. I ran the command with strace and there’s a getdents() function called just before the error, so it returns -1 if the directory does not exists and throw up the error. I’ve created the directory. Now getdents() return 0, but it still fails. Touched a random file inside the directory, so getdents() can return something higher than 0. And it worked. Isa-client-automount worked as expected. So, I’m not a Python guy, I tried to read the code for ipa-client-automount and it was beyond my knowledge. The thing is: * Is it a bug? * The check is flawed? * There’s a way to fix this, or any workaround that I’m missing? * Should I make ipa-client-automount manually too? * Should I open some bug fix request? Thank you guys. _______________________________________________ FreeIPA-users mailing list -- freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to freeipa-users-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/freeipa-users@lists.fedorahosted.org
