主目录不是通过使用Chef添加用户资源来创建的 [英] home directory is not created with adding user resource with chef

问题描述

在精确到无用的盒子上（ubuntu 12.04）

On a vagrant box precise64 (ubuntu 12.04)

在使用Chef创建用户资源时，不会创建主目录：

While creating a user resource with Chef, the home directory is not created:

我的食谱：

user "myuser" do
  supports :manage_home => true
  shell "/bin/bash"
  home "/home/myuser"
  comment "Created by Chef"
  password "myencryptedpassword"
  system true
  provider Chef::Provider::User::Useradd
  action :create
end

当我进行身份验证时：

$ su - myuser
Password: 
No directory, logging in with HOME=/

更新-Precision64（Ubuntu 12.04 64位）的解决方法

Update - The workaround for precise64 (Ubuntu 12.04 64bit)

directory "/home/myuser" do
  owner "myuser"
  group "myuser"
  mode 00755
  action :create
end

推荐答案

系统用户通常没有主目录，如果您指定 home ，则厨师甚至会为系统用户创建主目录。我已经尝试过了，无法重现该问题。

While system users usually don't have a home dir, chef will create the home dir even for system users if you specify home. I've tried it, and cannot reproduce the issue.

正在发生的事情在文档中有些隐藏。 首席文档说：

What is going on is a little bit hidden in the documentation. The chef documentations says:

系统|用于创建系统用户。此属性可以与useradd一起用作提供者，以创建将-r标志传递给useradd的系统用户。

system | Use to create a system user. This attribute may be used with useradd as the provider to create a system user which passes the -r flag to useradd.

看看useradd的手册页：

If have a look at the man page of useradd:

-r, --system
     Create a system account.

   System users will be created with no aging information in /etc/shadow, 
   and their numeric identifiers are chosen in the SYS_UID_MIN-SYS_UID_MAX
   range, defined in >/etc/login.defs, instead of UID_MIN-UID_MAX 
   (and their GID counterparts for the creation of groups).

   Note that useradd will not create a home directory for such an user,
   regardless of the default setting in /etc/login.defs (CREATE_HOME). 
   You have to specify the -m options if you want a home directory for
   a system account to be created.

但是，厨师似乎是如果您指定主目录，则显式传递 -m 选项。因此，我无法重现此问题。

However, it seems like chef is passing the -m option explicitly if you specify a home dir. I could not reproduce this issue therefore.
