>> zacheiss - Investigate adding machines in groups in Moira
The software running on ttsp now allows this, and I've implemented
support for it in "blanche" and "moira" as well:
[zacheiss@brad-majors] ~/dev/moira/other/clients/blanche$ ./blanche zacheiss -db ttsp
zacheiss
KERBEROS:zacheiss.extra@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
KERBEROS:zacheiss.root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
MACHINE:SWEET-TRANSVESTITE.MIT.EDU
It seems to mostly work. A few notes:
- Machines are only valid list members, not valid owners of any
database objects; they're like STRINGs in this regard. If we want
to change that we'd need to figure out what it means to
authenticate to moira as a MACHINE.
- Currently, putting a MACHINE on a list doesn't mean anything.
I know that Pismere has planned uses for them; we should figure out
what, if anything, we want the semantics to be for other services
that are fed from moira.
