.. program:: nova-rootwrap
Synopsis
========
::
nova-rootwrap CONFIG_FILE COMMAND
Description
===========
:program:`nova-rootwrap` is an application that filters which commands nova is
allowed to run as another user.
To use this, you should set the following in ``nova.conf``::
rootwrap_config=/etc/nova/rootwrap.conf
You also need to let the nova user run :program:`nova-rootwrap` as root in
``sudoers``::
nova ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nova-rootwrap /etc/nova/rootwrap.conf *
To make allowed commands node-specific, your packaging should only install
``{compute,network}.filters`` respectively on compute and network nodes, i.e.
:program:`nova-api` nodes should not have any of those files installed.
.. note::
:program:`nova-rootwrap` is being slowly deprecated and replaced by
``oslo.privsep``, and will eventually be removed.
