As of late, the home directory creation for users is broken.
I got errors in two scenarios:
- Added user 'rxy' as member to the 'cvn' group.
- Him connecting to a pre-existing pmtpa instance that I (krinkle) can log in on fine, yields:
$ ssh cvn-app2.pmtpa.wmflabs
(..)
Creating directory '/home/rxy'.
Unable to create and initialize directory '/home/rxy'.
$ ssh cvn-app3.eqiad.wmflabs
(..)
- Created new instance in eqiad.
- Me connecting to this 15 minutes after its creation, I still get:
Creating directory '/home/krinkle'.
Unable to create and initialize directory '/home/krinkle'.
I've updated my .ssh/config with the most recent version of the example on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access#ProxyCommand, but that only made it worse (main difference is using bastion-eqiad, instance of bastion2.pmtpa).
With that config I can't even connect to it:
$ ssh cvn-app3.eqiad.wmflabs
channel 0: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed out
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Trying manually:
$ ssh -A bastion1.eqiad.wmflabs
krinkle at bastion1.eqiad.wmflabs in ~
$ ping cvn-app3
