2011-06-10 09:28:40 Thierry Carrez summary nova_sudoers is brittle, should use proper rootwrap nova_sudoers is brittle, often out of date, and too permissive
2011-06-10 09:29:13 Thierry Carrez description Using /etc/sudoers.d/nova_sudoers is a bit brittle. For example, it makes nova utterly fail if your /etc/sudoers is missing #includedir /etc/sudoers.d. It could be replaced by a proper root wrapper (like euca_rootwrap). 1/ The current sudoers file is way too permissive. It gives access to so many unrestricted commands that the nova user is as powerful as the root user. 2/ The sudoers setup is a bit brittle because it assumes things about your /etc/sudoers ("must include /etc/sudoers.d"). 3/ Whenever a code change in nova introduces the need for a new "sudo" command, the packages fail to introduce in parallel the needed change in the sudoers file, mainly because those are two separate code bases with two separate sets of developers working on it.
