Remote execution broken for Operator by fixing Bug 498

Bugs
1

Hi

We had created an Operator user to run “show” commands from our monitoring server. But it seems that the fix for Bug 498 (http://bugzilla.vyos.net/show_bug.cgi?id=498) has completely blocked the ability for operator users to run remote commands.

So, does this need another bug reporting or is there a different way of having a user execute show commands from another server? We don’t want the user to have Admin privileges.

An example command that is being executed is:

$command = qq#/usr/bin/vtysh -c \'show ip bgp $ip\'#;

Thanks in advance for your help.

have you tried issuing the command via the regular VyOS cmdline? instead of using a quagga tool?
“show ip bgp $ip” should work directly from the operator VyOS cmdline
you can see what commands are available for an operator by logging in as the operator and typing show and tab a couple times to get options
