Config rollback function is broken due lack access to the config.boot
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG
Actions

Description

Rollback commands and the script vyatta-config-mgmt.pl --action=rollback run from the current user. Internal function cm_write_file during rollback trying to write into the /opt/vyatta/etc/config/archive/config.boot file.
But, because this file allows writing access only to the root user, operation failing and rollback cannot be done:

Permission:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root vyattacfg 1630 Aug 27 18:41 /opt/vyatta/etc/config/archive/config.boot

Error body:
Couldn't open /opt/vyatta/etc/config/archive/config.boot - Permission denied at /opt/vyatta/share/perl5/Vyatta/ConfigMgmt.pm line 108.

Affected both 1.3 and 1.2 versions.

If I do a clean install of 1.2.6-s1 from iso, the rollback works fine.
If deploy from a qcow2 image, I see a similar error.
