perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Garnizov, Ivan (RRZE)" <>]

Hi Andreas,

The point of Andy was to add an ordinary user to the pssudo group.
root user does not qualify for this workaround.

Nevertheless thanks for this remark. We'll clarify this on the documentation.

Best regards,
Ivan

Hi Andy,

I was also annoyed by this. Furthermore, any update of Perfsonar seems to 
recreate /root/.bashrc with that message.

Any way to influence that behaviour permanently? "add a user to the pssudo 
group" does not seem to work:

[root@perfson1
 ~]# id root
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=10(wheel),714(pssudo),0(root)
[root@perfson1
 ~]# /opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/scripts/add_pssudo_user --auto There isn't a 
perfSONAR sudo user defined. It is recommended that you create a sudo user 
and disable SSH root login. 
WARNING: Be sure you remember the username and password you create with this 
script as root will no longer be able to login via SSH once this command 
completes. If you are using SSH as root now, your session should continue 
until you logout.
Would you like to create a sudo user and disable root SSH? [yes]

Thanks,
Andreas
