Hi,
I have a cluster installation of Guix. It works pretty well on our clusters.
However, I am having issues while trying to export /gnu and /var/guix on
other machines. Indeed, it seems that "guix install" is looking for
username in order to search guix profile. This looks a bit odd to me, as
users may differ between environments. Of course, you may say to install
another guix server elsewhere, but that is not my point.
I have LDAP pam authentication most of the time, but some machine are
not connected to my LDAP servers, for some X reasons.
Something more reliable would be to check UID, or EUID instead of
username to check the corresponding profile (that is more easy for me to
assign a new UID to an existing username (eg: John has UID 1010 on the
cluster and 1001 on another machine; that is something I can change
easily on the machine, but not its username)).
What do you think ?
Thanks,
Best regards,
