RHEL 7 shipped ppc64le ISOs under the "alternate" label, causing
copycds to create distro paths like rhels7.6-alternate/ppc64le.
This mismatched osver() which returns rhels7.6 since /etc/os-release
has no knowledge of the alternate designation.
The architecture (ppc64le vs ppc64) already differentiates the
builds, making the alternate suffix redundant. Strip it during
auto-detection so copycds paths match osver() output.
Fixes#5593
When mkdef is called with an object name but no attributes (e.g.
mkdef -t node -o mynode), setFINALattrs produces an empty hash
and the OBJ loop has nothing to iterate. The code falls through to
"0 object definitions have been created or modified" with no
explanation of what went wrong.
Add a check after setFINALattrs: if FINALATTRS is empty, tell the
user what's missing. For nodes, mention that 'groups' is required.
Fixes#2765
The ntpd config generated by makentp had no access restrictions,
explicitly disabled authentication, and was vulnerable to CVE-2013-5211
amplification attacks.
Add restrict lines to block unauthorized access, add iburst for faster
initial sync, replace "disable auth" with "disable monitor". Security
hardening applies to all platforms including AIX (xntpd supports the
same restrict directives).
The chrony path (EL8+) is unaffected — it delegates to setupntp.
Fixes#2435
The verification logic in rspconfig_response uses a mutually exclusive
if/else to check for the old IP (origin_type) and new IP (check_result).
When setting the same IP, both match the same entry but only origin_type
gets set — check_result stays 0 and the command reports "Config IP failed".
Make the two checks independent so both can match the same IP object.
Fixes#5121
ac97 audio support has been removed from QEMU.
For example in RHEL 9.1 (qemu-kvm-7.0.0), creating new VMs fail
to start with the following error:
'AC97' is not a valid device model name.
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1995819
Previous solution did not work for releases > 9.16.9 (ex. 9.16.10)
Furthermore, EL9 adds -RH tag at the end (ex. 9.16.23-RH) which needs to
be removed.
Previously the code which created the netboot config files was
incorrectly specifying the initrd file name in a number of places,
particularly in the xcat/xnba/nets/* files, using a hard-coded `.gz`
suffix even when a `.lzma` file had been created. This change ensures
that the initrd file name determined earlier in the code (either when
the image is created, or in the configonly case by checking the
filesystem) is used correctly when creating the netboot config files.
