Custom Query (894 matches)

I added aliases to all of my machines in clients.xml, giving me an entry for one particular machine that looked like:

  <Client profile='bgp-mgt8' name='mgt8.ether.alcf.anl.gov' address='10.40.2.8'>
    <Alias name='mgt8-mgmt.ether.alcf.anl.gov' address='10.40.2.8'/>
  </Client>

When running the client, it tracebacked:

mgt8:/var/lib/bcfg2/Metadata # bcfg2 -v -I -b ssh -S https://10.40.2.8:6789 -C /tmp/bcfg2.conf 
Unknown failure
Traceback (most recent call last):

    msglen = int(headers.dict['content-length'])
KeyError: 'content-length'
Failed to download probes from bcfg2
Server Failure

and the server (running in debug mode) complained:

Address 10.40.2.8 has multiple reverse assignments; a uuid must be used
Client 10.40.2.8 failed to authenticate due to metadata problem
Authentication Failure
mgt8.ether.alcf.anl.gov - - [09/Jul/2009 09:30:58] code 401, message Unauthorized

Two thoughts here:

1. The client shouldn't traceback, of course

2. Does the use of aliases for CNAMES _really_ count as having multiple reverse assignments?

I just loaded bcfg2-server on a new box and whenever I run it in interactive mode (eg, don't daemonize and disassociate from the terminal), the bcfg2-server process refuses to die off after I hit Control-C. The last entry I see from the verbose output is:

Handled 5 events in 0.001s serve_forever() [stop] server_close()

and it hangs forever after this. I have to send a sigquit in order for it to now shutdown at this point.
