Public bug reported: This is similar to LP#851860
nova-common 2011.3~rc~20110909.r1155-0ubuntu1 The nova package creates a nova user who's primary (and only) group membership is 'nogroup'. This results in files/directories created by the nova user having 'nogroup' group ownership. This is considered a bad thing. Please create a 'nova' group and add the nova user to this group instead. = Tests = $ id nova uid=109(nova) gid=65534(nogroup) groups=65534(nogroup) $ find /var/lib/nova -gid 65534 | wc -l 424 ** Affects: nova (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nova in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/856530 Title: nova user should not be in the nogroup group To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/+bug/856530/+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
