Description

In order to verify that "yast nis_server" and "yast nis" configuration on nis mm tests, works properly, a new module can be created for each test with following steps:

NIS server:
(as root)

  • useradd nis_user -> in the current test, /home/nis_user folder is created and shared via nfs, so in order to avoid extra steps, the user added should be "nis_user".
  • passwd nis_user
  • chmod nis_user:users /home/nis_user -> current owner of the folder is "root".
  • cd /var/yp
  • make -> nis database needs to be aware of the new user.
  • Check if /etc/defaultdomain and /etc/idmapd.conf contain the nis domain (nis.openqa.suse.de). At maps setup of nis_server module, all entries are selected. There can be a check in /var/yp/nis.openqa.suse.de/ if entries correspond

NIS client:
(after above actions on nis server are completed)

  • ypcat passwd | grep nis_user / ypmatch nis_user passwd / getent passwd nis_user -> one option out of three, in order to verify that the client connection to nis server database is successful and new user is visible.
  • su - nis_user
  • pwd -> verify home directory of nis_user is /home/nis_user
  • echo "nis works"> file1 -> verify write
  • grep "nis works" -> verify read
  • Check if /etc/yp.conf exists and has the entry "ypserv"
  • Check if /etc/nsswitch.conf has expected entries e.g. "netgroup: files nis"
  • Check if /etc/defaultdomain contains the nis domain

We should also extract settings to use same value for configuration and validation.

I would only add some validation for the nfs version, if is explicitly set. And maybe for the mount options and nis policy settings, wdyt?

Other than that looks good.

Some additional options

Server:

  • We could add checks for nfs e.g. if /etc/export nfs options include "rw" and "no_root_squash" as defined during yast configuration but this is verified already in the last step of nis_server. Also, in module nis_client the last step is to echo a string in a file in nfs folder, as root which would fail if rw and no_root_squat were not in the export parameters.
  • Check if /etc/defaultdomain and /etc/idmapd.conf contain the nis domain (nis.openqa.suse.de). At maps setup of nis_server module, all entries are selected. There can be a check in /var/yp/nis.openqa.suse.de/ if entries correspond

Client:

  • Check if /etc/yp.conf exists and has the entry "ypserv "
  • Check if /etc/nsswitch.conf has expected entries e.g. "netgroup: files nis"
  • Check if /etc/defaultdomain contains the nis domain

Not sure if I should run VRs for opensuse or remove the tests from development job group.
