Bug Description

wakeonlan uses a tcp socket to wake up the server and can run as the maas user. ether_wake uses a udp socket to wake up the server and must run as root for it to work.

The fix for this is ato add the following line to /etc/sudoers.d/99-maas-sudoers:

maas ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/etherwake

and edit /etc/maas/templates/power/ether_wake.template to change:

/usr/sbin/etherwake $mac_address

to:

sudo /usr/sbin/etherwake $mac_address

If the network that you need to send to is not eth0 then you need to use the following instead:

sudo /usr/sbin/etherwake -i ethx $mac_address
