Using the `host-registration generate-command` with `--setup-remote-execution` on Red Hat Satellite 6.x drops the sudoers file with incorrect permissions

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Registering a Content Host enabling --setup-remote-execution on the generate registration command deploys invalid sudoers file permissions. Hence rexuserwon't have sudo rights.

    • Example generation command

      # hammer host-registration generate-command --activation-key 'RHEL8' --setup-remote-execution true

    • After execute the registration command. File permissions are invalid on the Content Host:

      # ls -l /etc/sudoers.d/rexuser                                       
rw-rr-. 1 root root 65 Sep 30 17:45 rexuser

Environment

  • Satellite 6
