[gpfsug-discuss] IBM Spectrum Scale Non-root Admin Research

[Steven Daniels]

Brian,

We have a number of government clients that have to seek a waiver for each 
and every Spectrum Scale installation because of the root password-less 
ssh requirements. The sudo wrappers help but not really. My clients would 
all like to see the ssh requirement go away and also need to comply with 
Nessus scans. Different agencies may have custom scan profiles but even 
passing the standard ones is a good step.

I have been discussing this internal with the development team for years.

Thanks,
Steve

Hey there Spectrum Scale Users,
 
Are you interested in allowing members of your team to administer parts or 
all of your Spectrum Scale clusters without the power of root access?
 
Chances are your answer is somewhere between "Yes" and "Definitely, yes, 
yes, yes!"
 
If so, the Scale Research team would love to sit down with you to better 
understand the problems you're trying to solve with non-root access and 
possibly work with you over the coming months to design concepts and 
prototypes of different solutions. Just reply back and we'll work with you 
to schedule a time to chat. If you have any other comments, questions, or 
concerns feel free to let us know.
 
Look forward to talking with you soon
