perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

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

Hi guys,

 

In the FAQ: http://www.perfsonar.net/about/faq/

Q:How to get rid of "There isn't a perfSONAR sudo user defined" message? A:

 

I suggest adding a clarification that the workaround for disabling this message is to add a non-root user in the pssudo group.

 

 

 

Best regards,

Ivan

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
