Hello all,
I don't have my CentOS test environment ready yet because the power
source of one of my boxes died yesterday. I expect to get a replacement
by Thursday and I should be up and running then.
Tonight I commited to svn a version with working support for sudo.
Sudo is not a requisite, if it's not found, the code falls back to the
original behavior (this needs to be tested and is the reason why I don't
have a release yet), but if it's available on the host,
the mysqlha user and group are created (the group is created
automatically in red hat and perhaps in other distros, I do this just in
case).
This mysqlha user is then grante permission through sudo to run, without
being prompted for a password, all the privileged commands we need for
the cluster to work.
This, along with the support for the ssh-agent and passphrase protected
private keys introduced in the last release, are great improvements on
the security of the system.
I'll be back with more news tomorrow or on Thursday.
Checkout from svn if you want to be up to date with the code. Both the
installation guide and the hacking guide will be updated for the next
release, since they'd be obsolete with all these changes.
Regards,
