 122                               <h3>Issue</h3>
 123
 124 <p>Gantry mentioned that we are still having issues with pre-shared key access to various systems using pswit as the log in. This email will serve to document how pre-share key access works, how we are using it here and how the process is breaking down. We could attempt to script it but there are challenges and issues with that, specifically the
 125 gathering of ssh keys requires root access. Or we could simply learn how it works and follow a process, which I'll suggest.</p>
 126
 127 <h3>How pre-shared ssh access works</h3>
 128
 129 <p>In order to ssh to another machine as another user (or any user including yourself) using a pre-shared key you eed have a key to share. Therefore you need to generate an ssh key. We tend to use DSA keys as they are stronger. The process of generating an ssh key will not be discussed here but if you have one then in your home directory you'll have a file name id_dsa.pub under your .ssh directory.</p>
 130
 131 <p>The contents of this file needs to be placed into the "receiving" user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. The act of doing this specifically states "I know &lt;x&gt; and I will allow him to ssh into this machine as me". So if I (p6258c) want to ssh to seast1 as pswit I need to get my DSA key (~p6258c/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) into pswit's authorized_keys file (~pswit/.ssh/authorized_keys).</p>
 132
 133 <h3>NIS domain/Windows considerations</h3>
 134
 135 <p>An additional complication here is that pswit in the RAN NIS domain != pswit in the RANTEST NIS domain. So If I wanted to be able to ssh as pswit to ranray I'd need to <b>also</b> get my DSA key (generated on the RAN NIS domain) into ~pswit/.ssh/authorized_keys. remember pswit's home directory on ranray != pswit's home directory on seast1. Both entities (the pswit user ID in RAN and the pswit user ID in RANTEST) are distinct and different users.</p>
 136
 137 <p>A further complication is that pswit on the 11 Windows machines are all local users to those Windows machines. The Windows machines are in the set (rantm50[1..7], sim[1..4]).</p>
 138
 139 <h3>Gathering ssh keys and building a combined authorzied_keys file</h3>
 140
 141 <p>So we need to collect ssh keys from multiple users, in multiple Unix NIS domains to multiple machines. In the past what I did was to gather all of the ssh keys for the users on the RAN side into an authorized_keys file named ran and then gathered all of the ssh keys for the users on the RANTEST side in an authorized_keys file named east. Normally an ssh key would say "&lt;user&gt;@&lt;machine&gt;" where &lt;machine&gt; is the machine which ssh-keygen was run. To avoid confusion I changed the comment at the end of each key to say "&lt;user&gt;@ran" or "&lt;user&gt;@east" in the respective files. Then I would concatenate the two files, ran and east, to one authorized keys file. This file was then checked into Clearcase under rantest_auto/config.</p>
 142
 143 <h3>Dissemination</h3>
 144
 145 <p>Since the home directory for pswit is always the same home directory for all machines in the RAN domain, and since the same is true in the RANTEST domain, we need only set authorized_keys twice, once in RAN and once in RANTEST, for the Unix side. However we need to also disseminate keys to 11 Windows boxes. Here's, effectively, how I do that.</p>

 166 done
 167 </pre>
 168 </div>
 169
 170 <p>This disseminates the authorized_keys file to all the appropriate machines.</p>

 289 <p>The way to have pre-shared ssh key access working the best is for each Region/Machine to have the same amount of entries (actually the exact same authorized_keys file). But we can see that people are indiscriminately changing the authorized_keys file only in certain places causing confusion and causing the process to break down.</p>
 290
 291 <h3>Suggested process</h3>
 292
 293 <p>When somebody reports that they are having a problem with ssh access using a pre-shared key to become pswit on another machine they should submit a help desk ticket. The way to resolve the help desk ticket is to:</p>
 294
 295 <ol>
 296   <li>Generate this user's DSA ssh key (if required) on both the RAN
 297 and the RANTEST NIS domains</li>
 298   <li>Change the host name associated with the key to "ran" or "east"
 299 as appropriate</li>
 300   <li>Open a WOR in the RANTEST_Auto project and create a view</li>
 301   <li>Checkout the rantest_tools/config/authorized_keys file and edit
 302 it appending the two DSA ssh keys</li>
 303   <li>Checkin and deliver the WOR</li>
 304   <li>Either execute the above code to disseminate the new
 305 authorized_keys file or perhaps we could write a simple script to do it.<br>

 487 <p>Here's what I did</p>
 488
 489 <ul>
 490   <li>cd'ed into this snapshot view
 491 ~p6258c/p6258c_SIMCQ00000392_intview/vobs/simdev/bin</li>
 492
 493   <li>Checked out a script named east.</li>
 494
 495   <li>cd'ed out of the snapshot view to my home directory.</li>
 496 </ul>
 497
 498 <p>We now have a colocated snapshot view created on CC 6.0 and hosted by
 499 seast1. The storage (my home directory) oddly enough is served by
 500 cclinux...</p>
 501
 502 <ul>
 503   <li>Moved the view database over to cclinux under it's gdviews
 504 partition:
 505
 506 <div class=code><pre>
 507 <font color="#ff6600"><b>Cclinux:</b></font><u>mv /home/p6258c/p6258c_SIMCQ00000392_intview/.view.stg \</u>

 509 </pre></div>
 510
 511   <b>Note:</b>
 512     <ul>
 513       <li>In the above command we also renamed .view.stg -&gt;
 514 &lt;viewname&gt;.vws.</li>
 515       <li>We did a mv instead of cp. I suspect that if you are in the
 516 snapshot view storage area and you perform a Clearcase operation,
 517 cleartool will notice the .view.stg directory at the snapshot view's
 518 root and not bother to attempt to contact the registry server to find
 519 out where the view database is. Instead it just says "Well the view
 520 database is right here". This would allow a disconnected, but colocated
 521 snapshot view to be able to perform Clearcase operations while
 522 disconnected.</li>
 523     </ul>
 524   </li>

 540 the .view.stg)</li>

 563   </li>
 564
 565   <li>Set the config spec to current since the compiled config spec
 566 still thinks it's on the old server. Note this will involve a ct update
 567 too. Also, we need to cd to the snapshot view storage area:</li>

 666                            <div class="entry-body">
 667                               <h3>What's been done</h3>
 668
 669 <ul>
 670   <li>The EAST test automation tool rantest currently can run <i>properly
 671 formated</i> EAST tests. By <i>properly formated</i> we mean that they
 672 1) run to completion and 2) report a status in their log file.</li>
 673
 674   <li>Logfile collection for EAST tests is performed and a tar file,
 675 EASTLogs.tgz, is created and if run for record (-rfr) specified that
 676 log file will be checked in (coded but untested - see below).</li>
 677
 678   <li>Many tests can be run in succession using the -file option and
 679 specifying multiple tests in the file (See <a
 680  href="http://ranweb/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ran:rantest">rantest</a> wiki
 681 page).</li>
 682
 683   <li>A rudimentary conditional test execution facility exists. For
 684 example, testers can name tests then refer to them in a subsequent test
 685 with an "if" statement so as to say "run this test if &lt;named
 686 test&gt; passed (See <a
 687  href="http://ranweb/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ran:rantest">rantest</a> wiki
 688 page).</li>
 689
 690   <li>A facility for running test in the background has been
 691 implemented as some EAST test script must run in the background while
 692 other tests run simultaneously.</li>
 693
 694   <li>A crude rendezvous system has been implemented such that rantest
 695 will poll the logfile looking for a rendezvous string that will
 696 indicate to rantest that the backgrounded test has reached a certain
 697 point and it's OK to proceed with other tests.</li>
 698
 699   <li>Logging of what rantest does has been implemented.</li>
 700
 701   <li>A crude -script test option has been implemented that allows
 702 rantest to "farm out" the verification of a test for tests that
 703 require more complex verification. Any script can be coded. The only
 704 requirement is that it reports success or failure through it's exit
 705 status.</li>
 706
 707   <li>Worked on learning moshell as some verifications require
 708 moshell.</li>
 709
 710   <li>Implemented a simple case of verifying that a cell is set up (a
 711 manual verification step for Sim Cell Setup of preSWIT).</li>
 712
 713   <li>Ngan has created test profiles and Ross Wilson says that we are
 714 going to run these test profiles through rantest this afternoon.</li>
 715
 716   <li>Documented most of <a
 717  href="http://ranweb/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ran:rantest">rantest</a>'s
 718 usage on the wiki.</li>
 719
 720   <li>Ross and Gantry have created Perl scripts and TPL's such that an
 721 EAST test can drive a TM500. While rantest can run such tests it needs
 722 to be taught how to gather the TM500 log files produced.</li>
 723 </ul>
 724
 725 <h3>What we're impeded on</h3>
 726
 727 <ul>
 728   <li>I believe many of the SWIT tests are not currently properly
 729 formatted. Such tests will need to be altered before they can be truly
 730 automated through rantest</li>
 731
 732   <li>WRT preSWIT testing, I need Leslie to modify her tests to
 733 properly write rendezvous strings in SIM Cell Setup so that rendezvous
 734 can work and sanity/preSWIT testing can proceed.</li>
 735
 736   <li>Gather tests from Ngan (and others) </li>
 737
 738   <li>We often don't have time on the various RNC's/etc. to perform
 739 testing. Some tests, i.e. SIM Cell Setup, are interruptive of other
 740 EAST engineer's work.</li>
 741
 742   <li>Moshell is crude, picky and buggy and... not supported by Ericson!</li>
 743 </ul>
 744
 745 <h3>What's next</h3>
 746
 747 <ul>
 748   <li>Create run for record view and test out -rfr checkin
 749 functionality.</li>
 750
 751   <li>Get EAST/TM500 test to work (currently failing) so as to
 752 check/modify TM500 logfile creation</li>
 753
 754   <li>Get EAST/NMS test to work (currently non-existant?) so as to
 755 check/modify NMS logfile creation.</li>
 756
 757   <li>Implement XML parsing to determine whether or not we have TM500
 758 logs or NMS logs to collect. Either that or get Gantry to change the
 759 format of the message indicating where the logfile is to include what
 760 type of logfile it is.</li>
 761
 762   <li>Once Leslie modifies tests for rendezvous, attempt sanity again
 763 and add in the -script "IsCellUp &lt;machine&gt; &lt;cell&gt;"
 764 verification.</li>
 765
 766   <li>Bob wants us to write a simple and a complex example of test
 767 verification. Based on Doug Elder's <i>How to Analyze rnc</i>
 768 document, implement it's verification steps which get progressively
 769 more complex. The IsCellUp script can also serve as an example
 770 verification script.</li>
 771 </ul>

 848
 849   <li>Re-ported changes from Rexec version of easter -> non-Rexec version. Looks like we will be having a rantools vob replicated to cclinux. In any event, easter has been redesigned to run locally on seast1.</li>
 850
 851   <li>Figured out the problem with Rexec (and Expect for that matter). Turns out the Expect problem is the same Expect problem it always seems to be. Expecting a certain string and not seeing it. The twist is that this is indeterministic due to timing and stems from the odd way that start_auto_east operates. You see after executing start_auto_east control gets returned to you, thus you get a prompt, however background processes are also started and they write to the terminal, sometimes interrupting the prompt! This is not good. In general background processes should not be writing to the screen. I need to see if they can turn this off.</li>
 852
 853   <li>Learned that specifying "-run -log" will run the test but <b>not</b> turn on logging! You must do "-log -run"! In the past sometimes log files would not appear. They would appear if logging was turned on in the profile but not appear if it wasn't. IOW -log was not working because of option ordering! Fixed</li>
 854
 855   <li>Added rendezvous method and option to that we can run something in the background and then rendezvous with it by searching for a string in the produced logfile.</li>
 856
 857   <li>Learned that the logfile's presence is not immediate. IOW we start a configuration task, running it in the background, then call rendezvous in order to search the logfile for the message stating it's ready. However the logfile does not exist at this moment. So we must wait. Currently rendezvous uses timeout to wait. It does so by trying then taking 1/10 of timeout and sleeping, proceeding 10 times and then timing out. I need to include the locating of the logfile in this timeout cycle.</li>
 858
 859   <li>Moved stackOptions and -name, -if and -renedezvous into East.pm and process options using GetOptions. The problem was that I'm coming from a string, the test name followed by test options, and with -if and -rendezvous there's a good chance that the user wants to specify a quoted string. Yet GetOptions only works on @ARGV. So how to get a $str -> @ARGV taking into account that if you hit a quote you need to combine all tokens until the closing quote? Well that's what stackOptions does. So now this is all handled in East.pm. Additionally the test results hash needed to be passed to exec so that exec could do conditional test execution. This makes us pass two hashes and thus need to use references. All this is working now. Need to check to make sure that test results hash is updating in exec and that conditional test execution is working</li>
 860
 861   <li>Fixed problem in getting logfile name in that $self->{testName} was not getting set properly. Now it is and logfile names are being found</li>
 862
 863   <li>Still am not seeing what I'm expecting to see in the logfiles for rendezvous. Need to do testing by hand again and save the logfiles to show Leslie/Jonathan.</li>
 864
 865   <li>Changed to use a hash for all statistics. Added stats for skipped tests and rendezvous tests. This method is much more flexible and counters can be easily added</li>
 866
 867   <li>Added hack to get around Expect problems</li>
 868
 869   <li>Determined that messages seen in the text logfile are not already shown in the binary logfile</li>

 953
 954 <p>Recently Gantry mentioned the following problem:</p>
 955
 956 <blockquote type=cite>
 957   <p>Error Prone Deliveries:</p>
 958
 959   <p>Another problem is that Reinaldo's private files have to be merged
 960 manually.</p>
 961
 962   <p>Ross, Andrew, and I are in a similar situation now where we have to
 963 take a snapshot of directories in a view over to seast1 in order to do
 964 development, then remember what we changed and copy them back in and
 965 deliver.</p>
 966
 967   <p>We have already made several mistakes. </p>
 968 </blockquote>
 969
 970 <p>The problem here is that we have two different Clearcase registry
 971 regions and subnets, code is developed in one region and run in the
 972 other. Gantry proposed a solution of writing more script to maintain
 973 that will essentially copy things between systems. I would like to
 974 propose an alternative...</p>
 975
 976 <h2>Release process</h2>
 977
 978 <p>What if we instead had a release process such that we deliver our
 979 development to the feature stream that is then automatically seen over
 980 on the cclinux region? Code is developed through the WOR process on the
 981 RAN and delivered to the feature stream. This stream has an official
 982 view which is exported to the cclinux region where it is mounted
 983 directly into place<a href="#note_1"><sup>1</sup></a>. Since all
 984 processes that utilize these scripts do so through this base they are
 985 all automatically and immediately updated when the view is updated.
 986 Additionally code is developed cognizant of this base such that an
 987 alternate base can easily be set allowing one to test the release
 988 before making it official.</p>
 989
 990 <h2>Solution proposed</h2>
 991
 992 <h3>Exporting a view</h3>
 993
 994 <p>Clearcase has the ability to export a view/vob path from a view
 995 server to any other machine. This allows you to "access Clearcase from
 996 a machine which does not have Clearcase" (see ct man export_mvfs). In
 997 order to do this a systems administrator adds a line to
 998 /etc/exports.mvfs on the view server where the view resides using the
 999 format of:</p>
1000
1001 <div class=code><pre>
1002 /view/&lt;<i>view_name</i>&gt;/vobs/&lt;<i>vobpath</i>&gt;&lt;<i>netgroup or machine</i>&gt;
1003 </pre></div>
1004
1005 <p>And executes the /opt/rational/clearcase/etc/export_mvfs -a
1006 command.  Additionally &lt;<i>view_name</i>&gt; should be started<a
1007 href="#note_2"><sup>2</sup></a>.</p>
1008
1009 <h3>Official view</h3>
1010
1011 <p>Additionally, as noted above, a view must be utilized. I suggest using
1012 what I like to call <i>official views</i> for this. An <i>official
1013 view</i> is merely a view not associated with any particular person
1014 (e.g. maybe ccadm) that serves in an official capacity. This view
1015 usually has a simple config spec such as the following:</p>
1016
1017 <div class=code><pre>
1018 element * REL_1.0 -nocheckout
1019 </pre></div>
1020
1021 <p>thereby limiting what was seen through the view as only that which is
1022 labeled with REL_1.0. The release process therefore consisted of
1023 applying the REL_1.0 label and poof! Automatically and immediately the
1024 new version was available. Updating to say a REL_1.1 release would
1025 involve then simply a ct setcs and a changing of REL_1.0 to REL_1.1.</p>
1026
1027 <p>For UCM based views, translate the above to applicable baselines...</p>
1028
1029 <h3>Importing the view</h3>
1030
1031 <p>On the client machine, importing the view is simply a mount
1032 command.  The suggestion here is to mount directly to our base,
1033 /usr/local/east:</p>
1034
1035 <div class=code><pre>
1036 $ mount view1:/views/&lt;<i>official view</i>&gt;/vobs/rantest /usr/local/east
1037 </pre></div>
1038
1039 <p>(Actually this should be added to /etc/fstab for automatic, at boot
1040 time, mounting).</p>
1041
1042 <h3>Security and visibility</h3>
1043
1044 <p>There is concern regarding exposing too much visibility of vob
1045 elements in the cclinux region. Since /etc/exports.mvfs allows us to
1046 specify an exacting path of what is exported we can insure that we are
1047 only exporting the .../vobs/rantest portion or even a subdirectory(s)
1048 under rantest. This should sufficiently limit the scope of what's
1049 exposed.</p>
1050
1051 <h2>Notes</h2>
1052
1053 <ol>
1054   <li><small><a name="note_1"></a>This assumes that we adopt a concept
1055 of a base variable from which everything emanates (e.g. /usr/local/east)</small></li>
1056   <li><small><a name="note_2"></a>At HP I devised a simply script
1057 solution to insure that views listed in /etc/views_to_start would be
1058 started at boot up on the view servers.</small></li>

1095                               <h2>Rexec Complications</h2>
1096
1097 <p>Rexec is a Perl module written by me. There are several things that Rexec provides but at it's core it essentially provides an object oriented interface to a remote command line. Rexec attempts to provide functionality by handling the details in nominal cases however it's basic paradigm is that it expects to be able to execute a command on the remote system, for that command to block and for the command to finish and to properly set the exit status. Rexec accomplishes this by using Expect. When instantiated, Rexec attempts to log into the remote machine using a cascading fallback of ssh, rsh and telnet (unless the caller has explicitly requested a particular protocol). User name and password can be supplied or passwordless login must be configured for Rexec to succeed to connect to the remote system.</p>
1098
1099 <p>Thereafter the caller calls the exec method to execute the remote command. Rexec wraps that command with two echo statements that mark the beginning and ending of the command's output as well as the status of the command. Rexec then gathers up the output lines and status, storing them in the object, and returning the output lines as an array (and the status obtainable using the status method). The caller can then proceed accordingly.</p>
1100
1101 <p>But the above does assume that commands are of the nature that they block while operating and that they set the exit code properly. No effort is made to do any output redirection, nor are any assumptions made about the command being executed.</p>
1102
1103 <p>The first problem arises when the caller has a need to "background" a task. Normally in Unix this means adding a "&" to the end of the line to indicate to put the command in the background. In such a case we run into two problems that the normal shell also has to deal with, that being how to handle asynchronous I/O and how to handle the exit status, which can come at any time. So far no functionality has been added to handle any asynchronous I/O - the answer here is <b>don't do that!!!</b>, at least, for now.</p>
1104
1105 <p>Exit status is also not gracefully handled in that it is not attempted to be captured at all.</p>
1106
1107 <p>What Rexec does normally is to add an <tt>echo &lt;<i>unique start string</i>&gt;</tt> to the front of the command and an <tt>echo &lt;<i>unique end string with status</i>&gt;</tt>. Then Rexec scans the output for the start and ending strings and knows that the strings inbetween must have resulted from the output from the command. Rexec also gathers the exit status from the later echo statement. Of course, this assume the command blocks and properly sets the exit status.</p>
1108
1109 <p>Now, if Rexec finds a "&" at the end of the command it will treat it as nonblocking. It does not add the start nor the ending echoes and makes no attempt at gathering neither output nor exit status from this command. Another potential problem are commands which do not indicate their desire to be backgrounded (by specifying the trailing "&" character) but background themselves nonetheless.</p>
1110
1111 <p>Another, odd problem was also discovered when the remote command ended up doing yet another ssh to another system. Such a command also does not return, or at least not right away. Worse yet, there is a good possibility that that 2nd remote ssh will result in a prompt that will be mistaken for the 1st session's prompt by Rexec! No easy way around this either!</p>
1112
1113 <p>Finally, other commands will likewise have a problem when executed remotely. For example: "vi /tmp/foo". But then again, even Expect has problems with this. So we can't be all things to all people but that doesn't mean we cannot be helpful nonetheless.</p>

3007 <p>along with an attachment of medicare.vvv. So, being a good, conscientious citizen I figured I'd report the incident in order to help others down the road. I asked around and was told that I need submit a help desk ticket and that I need to first contact the help desk to do so. Funny, I'd thought this would just be a "forward the email to &lt;x&gt;" and I'd be done with it. So I'm directed to a web page which has the number for the help desk. I call that number (it's 9:40 Am mind you) and I get voice mail saying "I'm sorry but nobody's here to take your call" and to leave a message. So, wanting to dispose of this issue rather than have it remain, I decided to go back to the web site and see if there was an answer to the question. I searched for "report phishing attempts" and "report spam" and there was nothing found! Oh well I tried but does this frustrate anybody else as much as it does me?</p>
3008
3009 <p>Oh and if click on the Contact Us link you'll start and email that will be returned to you undeliverable!</p>
