Title: ping does not work as a normal user on trusty tarball cloud images. Status in The curt installer: Confirmed Status in MAAS: Confirmed Status in curtin package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in iputils package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in maas package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in tar package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lxc source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in tar source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in curtin source package in Saucy: Won't Fix Status in lxc source package in Saucy: Won't Fix Status in maas source package in Saucy: Won't Fix Status in tar source package in Saucy: Won't Fix Status in curtin source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in lxc source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in maas source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in tar source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: With trusty, /bin/ping relies on having extended attributes and kernel capabilities to gain the cap_net_raw+p capability. This allows removing the suid bit. However, the tarball cloud images do not preserve the extended attributes, and thus /bin/ping does not work on a system derived from them. Summary of problem per package: * lxc: ubuntu cloud template needs to extract * download template needs to extract with xattr flags * server side download creation tools need xattr flags * [unconfirmed] tarball caches need creation and extraction with xattr flags * tar: need the '--xattr' and '--acl' flags backported * maas: uec2roottgz needs to use xattr/acl flags * curtin: extraction needs to use xattr/acl flags. * cloud-image-build: needs to create -root.tar.gz with xattr/acl flags Related Bugs: * bug 1382632: horizon insecure key file permissions * bug 1386237: tar strange behavior with --acl and xattr * bug 1313550: ping broken (xattrs lost in tar extraction) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1313550/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
