[Bug 1000] New: Swift picks different $HOME
https://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/swift/show_bug.cgi?id=1000 Summary: Swift picks different $HOME Product: Swift Version: 0.94 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: General AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] Filing this apparently unusual phenomena reported by user Ahmad Qamar. He happened two have two login names associated with on Fusion. While running Swift run with a relatively large number of simulation jobs, one or two will occasionally fail because Swift picks up the another, unused username and looks for .globus in the homedir corresponding to that name. Some diagnosis: The environment does not show any evidence of any variable pointing to the other user. The only place where it becomes apparent that the user has two login names is on the finger command. The two login scenario on Fusion has been resolved since and that error has not shown up as I hear from the user. I am trying to reproduce this on an EC2 node by mimicking the same scenario. Filing this now to record the bug in the system recalling the verbal conversation with user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/swift/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I'll assign this to you for now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/swift/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/swift/show_bug.cgi?id=1000 --- Comment #2 from ketan <[email protected]> 2013-07-28 16:32:02 --- I tried to reproduce this issue on an EC2 node by creating two users and changing the /etc/passwd file to assign the same uid to both users. Then, I tried to get username by uid with the following: $ getent passwd <uid> I ran this 10000 times in a loop which gives the first entry in the passwd file consistently. It is possible the error shows up on NIS or LDAP based systems. Will try other methods to reproduce this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/swift/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
