[opensuse-cloud] Removal of openstack- prefix of created usernames/groups in openstack- packages
Hi, As part of converging our packaging to a Triple-O compatible filesystem layout, we're going to rename the users/groups that are created by the openstack- packages to the upstream naming, which is without the openstack- prefix. This only affects the usernames and groups a daemon is running under, the package names remain the way they are. Also none of the init script names are going to be changed. You're only affected if you use custom devops tools or chef recipes for deploying our packages, or if you manually su to one of those service users (which is normally not necessary). For example: old packages (Havana and older): openstack-keystone creates a user called "openstack-keystone". new packages (Icehouse and newer): openstack-keystone creates a user called "keystone". If an old user called "openstack-keystone" exists, it is being deleted and its UID/GID is getting reused. The migration was painless in my local experiments because the old UID/GID is being reused, so no files on the filesytem need to be converted, not even any of the daemons need to be restarted. We plan to do the user renaming during setting up the Cloud:OpenStack:Icehouse project, which is scheduled for 2nd week of March. The few packages that are Master-only (and probably not used by many people) have already been converted. Please let us know if that is an issue for you timing wise.

Can we use "usermod -l" instead of deleting/recreating a user? :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-cloud+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-cloud+owner@opensuse.org

In order to avoid that modifications on the account (like login shell or description) getting lost? Possible, I didn't think of it that way. It is one central macro in openstack-suse now, so the change only needs to be done once :-) Greetings, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-cloud+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-cloud+owner@opensuse.org
