Title:
Nova boot fails if sbin not in path
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
Invalid
Status in OpenStack Manuals:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In a fresh install of devstack I see an error in the nova-compute log
when I try to start an instance. I tracked this down to coming from
nova/linux_net.py where sysctl is called in _enable_ipv4_forwarding().
If I add /sbin to my path the error goes away. However some distros,
e.g.: debian, don't include sbin in the standard path rather they
restrict it to root users only.
I think the call to sysctl (and possibly other similar calls) should
be moved to use rootwrap, along with preventing issues like this it
would have the added benifit of making the code slightly more OS
agnostic.
