Description

Description
Trying to run salt-syndic as a salt user (along with salt-master also running with that user).

Setup
(Please provide relevant configs and/or SLS files (be sure to remove sensitive info. There is no general set-up of Salt.)

Salt (master and syndic) configured to run as user salt.

# /etc/salt/master.d/f_defaults.conf
user: "salt"
log_file: "file:///dev/log"
syndic_log_file: "file:///dev/log"
syndic_user: "salt"

Please be as specific as possible and give set-up details.

  • on-prem machine
  • VM (Virtualbox, KVM, etc. please specify)
  • VM running on a cloud service - AWS EC2, but most likely not relevant
  • container (Kubernetes, Docker, containerd, etc. please specify)
  • or a combination, please be explicit
  • jails if it is FreeBSD

Steps to Reproduce the behavior

Configure salt-master and syndic to run as user.

Launching as root directly

While directly launching it as user would work:

^C[WARNING ] Syndic received a SIGINT. Exiting.
The Salt Syndic is shutdown. Syndic received a SIGINT. Exited.

Expected behavior

I would expect the salt-syndic to properly run as the salt user, and not try to access files in /root.

Might be nice to load files that should only be accessible by root (like minion key, as minion is running as root), but in any case not force to access files that have no reason to be there anyway later.

Additional context

There might also be a problem about program-name while running directly as user salt, but I haven't looked much more into it so far.

Research direction

Start with the syndic startup path in salt/cli/daemons.py and the event connection handling in salt/utils/event.py, then reproduce the issue using the listed user and logging configuration. Trace why startup reaches /root/.salt/syndic.log despite the configured user and file:///dev/log. Done means salt-syndic runs as salt without the reported permission failure.
