When running commands that require root privileges, the linuxbridge, openvswitch, and ryu agent now prepend the commands with the value of the root_helper config variable. This is set to "sudo" in the plugins' .ini files, allowing the agent to run as a non-root user with appropriate sudo privilidges. If root_helper is changed to "sudo quantum-rootwrap", then the command being run will be filtered against lists of each agent's valid commands in quantum/rootwrap. See http://wiki.openstack.org/Packager/Rootwrap for details. Fixes bug 948467. Change-Id: I549515068a4ce8ae480905ec5eaab6257445d0c3 Signed-off-by: Bob Kukura <rkukura@redhat.com>
The Open vSwitch (OVS) Quantum plugin is a simple plugin to manage OVS features using a local agent running on each hypervisor. For details on how to configure and use the plugin, see: http://openvswitch.org/openstack/documentation/
