Experimenting on the same topic I have also found inconsistent behaviour with "./pfcmd import nodes /tmp/testimport.csv columns=mac,pid,category"
00:54:E8:61:32:00,auser,developer 00:F0:5D:18:93:00,anotheruser,developer 00:9a:4c:51:b7:00,andanotherone,developer 00:d8:00:e8:a5:00,opsuser,ops It seems to only set the role (category) every second run if they're all the same role, on alternate runs it unsets role altogether for the nodes. If I attempt a mix of roles is seems to set one role type and unsets the other! I hope that I can avoid setting the role here altogether given my initial query on using the existing source and mechanisms, but thought it worth mentioning. pf 10.2.0 On Debian 9.13 Thanks, David On Fri, Feb 26, 2021 at 2:59 PM David Harvey <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Packetfence users, > > I'm looking for advice on updating my node owners whilst preserving or > recalculating roles. > With many new users working from home, their nodes have been registered as > a default owner, with the role being manually set.
