Description Josh Triplett 2007-01-27 17:42:58 UTC
Can you please create the user "xcb", with the home directory
/srv/xcb.freedesktop.org (chowned to the xcb user), and allow any user in the
xcb group to sudo to it?  We need this in order to securely set up ikiwiki for
the xcb wiki (without using someone's personal account).

Can you also please add xcb to /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist, which will allow us to
list our ikiwiki(s) in ~xcb/.ikiwiki/wikilist and have them regenerated with
ikiwiki upgrades?

Thank you.

done: haven't tested it since i'm not in the xcb group, but should work.
Comment 2 Josh Triplett 2007-02-19 11:06:51 UTC
Attempting to sudo to xcb results in a prompt for my password; since fd.o uses
public key authentication exclusively, this doesn't work. :)

Please use "NOPASSWD:" in the sudoers line.  Anyone logged into fd.o as a
member of the xcb group has already authenticated themselves sufficiently.
Comment 3 Daniel Stone 2007-02-19 11:31:47 UTC
fixed.  i'm normally competent, honest.
Comment 4 Josh Triplett 2007-02-19 11:38:01 UTC
Fix confirmed.

josh@annarchy:~$ sudo -u xcb id
uid=1005(xcb) gid=503(xcb) groups=503(xcb)

Thanks.
