[Bug 725170] [NEW] euca-authorize requires source-subnet to function

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: euca2ools

using the ec2-api-tools, one can do something like:
 $ ec2-add-group --description=bar foogroup
 GROUP   foogroup bar
 $ ec2-authorize foogroup -p 22
 GROUP       foogroup 
 PERMISSION  foogroup ALLOWS   tcp   22 22 FROM  CIDR  0.0.0.0/0
 $ ec2-describe-group foogroup
 GROUP 950047163771   foogroup bar
 PERMISSION  950047163771   foogroup ALLOWS   tcp   22 22 FROM  CIDR  0.0.0.0/0

Using euca2ools, the same looks like this:
 $ euca-add-group --description=bar foogroup
 GROUP foogroup bar
 $ euca-authorize foogroup -p 22                
 foogroup None None tcp 22 22 None
 GROUP foogroup
 PERMISSION  foogroup ALLOWS   tcp   22 22
 $ echo $?
 0
 $ euca-describe-groups
 GROUP   950047163771   foogroup bar

Note 2 things there, a.) the command returned success b.) it did not do
anything.  There is no PERMISSIOn rule now as there should be.

However, if we supply a -s/--source-subnet flag, then it works as
expected:

 $ euca-authorize foogroup -p 22 --source-subnet 0.0.0.0/0
 foogroup None None tcp 22 22 0.0.0.0/0
 GROUP foogroup
 PERMISSION  foogroup ALLOWS   tcp   22 22 FROM  CIDR  0.0.0.0/0
 $ euca-describe-groups foogroup
 GROUP   950047163771   foogroup bar
 PERMISSION  950047163771   foogroup ALLOWS   tcp   22 22 FROM  CIDR  0.0.0.0/0


I think all that is really needed is to use '0.0.0.0/0' as the source-subnet if one is not supplied.
