as user not working????

[juanbrein]

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'sshkit'                               
require 'sshkit/dsl'                           
include SSHKit::DSL                            


on %w{srv16} do |host|
  as 'jbrein' do
    execute 'whoami'                           
  end                                          
end

Triggers:

vagrant@srv16  password::

where:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'sshkit'
require 'sshkit/dsl'
include SSHKit::DSL


on %w{srv16} do
  host.user = 'jbrein'
  execute 'whoami'
end

I get:

INFO [d05e2de1] Running /usr/bin/env whoami as jbrein@srv16
INFO [d05e2de1] Finished in 1.172 seconds with exit status 0 (successful).

I hope I'm doing something wrong.. don't know what because I believe I'm following the documentation strictly...

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the report. I think as works differently than you expect.

Using as, the connection is still established using the default user. In your case, the default user is vagrant (based on $USER, I assume).

It's only after the connection is established that sudo -u [USER] is used to run the command "as" that user.

If you want to change the user that is used for the actual SSH connection, then you should specify that user as part of the host using user@host syntax, like this:

on %w{jbrein@srv16} do
  execute "whoami"
end

I see! I was getting crazy trying to figure out what was going on. I don't see that in the README, can this be considered a bug in the documentation? Is it something that can lead to confusion or it was just me?

Thanks anyway for the clarification!

Yes, I can imagine that would be confusing. Would you mind suggesting some edits? You can press the edit button (pencil icon) on either the README or the EXAMPLES and it will automatically create a pull request that I can review. Thanks!

Sure thing!

bump @juanbrein - were you able to make some edits to the documentation to clarify this?

[juanbrein]

Sorry I'm on holidays, but will pick it up when back. Probably on Monday.
Thanks!
