maas-import-pxe-files sets incorrect permissions for commissioning dir

[Andres Rodriguez]

maas-import-pxe-files creates the directory with the commissioning images with incorrect permissions. This causes that while PXE booting, the images are not accessible.

ubuntu@maas:/var/lib/tftpboot/maas/i386/generic/precise$ ls -l
total 8
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 28 13:18 commissioning
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 28 13:11 install

Doing:

chmod 755 /var/lib/tftpboot/maas/i386/generic/precise/commissioning

Fixes the issue.

The directory is created in the make_destination function in src/provisioningserver/pxe/install_image.py. It looks like the umask is too strict here, so the code should be more defensive and explicitly set the permissions it needs.

Did this happen on a fresh installation, or during an upgrade from an older one where the script may already have run? The script should create everything as world-readable these days, but a leftover from an old version would be a different matter, possibly best solved in postinst.

Fresh installation.

Hi All,

Re-opening this bug report. I just installed latest branch bzr953, which supposedly has this fix but:

ubuntu@maas:/var/lib/maas/tftp/amd64/generic/precise$ ls -l
total 8
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 31 09:55 commissioning
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 31 09:46 install
