Hi, Could anyone please point me to a specification of user permissions that OpenStack Nova requires when deployed on a compute node? The installation manual<http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/manual-ubuntu-installation.html> directly states that sudo/root permissions are required. My question is, beyond installation of packages, are there any reasons for Nova to be deployed within a user with root access on the compute nodes? What I'm after is understanding whether a minimalistic set only consisting of necessary user permissions (file access,etc) can be created for the user that runs Nova (hoping that the list will be a subset of the root's permissions). cheers, /Nicoae. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
