Rootwrap Error with L3_agent

Asked by Graham Hemingway

I am seeing the following error in /var/log/quantum/l3_agent.log:

2012-10-22 09:00:48 DEBUG [quantum.agent.linux.utils] Running command: sudo /usr/bin/quantum-rootwrap /etc/quantum/rootwrap.conf /sbin/iptables-save -t filter

If I run "sudo /usr/bin/quantum-rootwrap /etc/quantum/rootwrap.conf /sbin/iptables-save -t filter" it does indeed give me an Unauthorized command error.

If I run "sudo /usr/bin/quantum-rootwrap /etc/quantum/rootwrap.conf iptables-save -t filter" (without the /sbin/) it works OK.
Otherwise, I don't see errors in the log.

Is this a problem?

Thanks,

I have focused in on this a bit and wanted to add some more details.
First, this only happens once I set the router_id in l3_agent.ini. Only then does this error occur.

I noticed that line 272 of quantum/agent/linux/iptables_manager.py is:

        s = [('/sbin/iptables', self.ipv4)]

If I change this to:

        s = [('iptables', self.ipv4)]

It seems to work without error. Is this correct?

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the report. This looks like a bug and we'll have to repro + fix. That line in iptables_manager.py (I believe) is copied from nova, so we need to look into why sbin was pre-pended there. I'll convert this into a bug.
