Setting site upon login

[David Teh]

Hi folks,

Testing out CIS 5.8.7 on Solaris 10.

I thought .cshrc is the place to default the site for ‘hci’ and ‘hcitest’ IDs, but it doesn’t seem to be so.

For ‘hcitest’ ID, these statements are already in .cshrc:

alias setsite ‘eval `${CL_INSTALL_DIR}/integrator/sbin/hcisetenv -site csh !*`’

setroot $CL_INSTALL_DIR/integrator

setsite hcitest

But, after logging in as ‘hcitest’, and running showroot:

HCI root is /quovadx/cis5.8/integrator

HCI master site is hci

HCI site is hci

Any suggestions?

Check to see if the user ID of interest is setup to login using the csh because at least for the hci user ID the default is the ksh, which looks in $HOME/.profile upon login.

I checked our clean install of cloverleaf 6.0 and see the following:

> grep hci /etc/passwd

hci:!:1001:1:PROD Cloverleaf 6.0:/home/hci:/bin/ksh

hcitest:!:1002:1::/home/hcitest:/bin/ksh

hcispt1:*:203:1::/home/hcispt1:/bin/tcsh

You might want to see how the various hci user ID are defined in your particular /etc/passwd file.

The other option is to set the value in the ‘rootInfo’ file in $HCIROOT; where:

site=yoursitehere

Here’s what I got:

> grep hci /etc/passwd  

hci:x:300:10::/home/hci:/bin/tcsh

hcitest:x:301:10::/home/hcitest:/bin/tcsh

hcispt1:x:302:10::/export/home/hcispt1:/bin/tcsh

We have 2 main IDs – hci and hcitest on the same box.

In CL 5.6 and earlier, we always default the production site in the hci’s login script and the test site in the hcitest’s login script. I also check that in the current 5.6 setup, in the rootInfo file, site is set to the production site, but this does not cause any issue for the hcitest id.

Hmm…..

After comparing multiple files between the new and old servers, I’ve found a difference  in the .login file. The new server’s .login has an additional line:

setroot $CL_INSTALL_DIR/integrator

Commenting it off solved the problem.
