Description

Even on a fresh installation we can find a /root/.ssh directory, if the admin ran scp to copy the backup, for instance.

We must rename existing /root/.ssh before root/ directory is migrated.

nethserver-base-migrate: force migration of /root/.ssh directory. Refs #1798

History

#1 Updated by Filippo Carletti over 8 years ago

Couldn't we simply overwrite .ssh?
After a full system restore, I'd expect to find the source system.

#2 Updated by Davide Principi over 8 years ago

See source:nethserver-base|root/etc/e-smith/events/actions/nethserver-base-migrate@49090c9f#L129 (line 129)

migrateDir copy/moves the contents of the first path to the second.
Overwriting is not implemented. In this case we can
  1. erase /root/.ssh before migrateDir or
  2. move it to a backup location (/root/.ssh.save, for instance) .

I would prefer the second, in case the root user has already configured some ssh key...

The current .ssh directory is erased before the migration.

This shouldn't be a limitation because the migration will be done on clean machines.
