[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2 ovn 4/5] rhel: Run ovn services with the 'openvswitch' user

From: Numan Siddique <nusiddiq at redhat.com>

This patch could have created a new user 'ovn' for ovn services instead
of using 'openvswitch' user. But this would require some amount of work and
proper testing since the new user 'ovn' should be part of 'openvswitch'
group (to access /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock.). If ovs is compiled with dpdk,
then it may get tricky (as ovs-vswitchd is run as user - openvswitch:hugetlbfs).
We can support a new user for 'ovn' services in the future.

Recently the commit [1] in ovs repo added support to run ovn services with the
'openvswitch' user, but this commit was not applied to ovn repo as we had
already created a new OVN repo. During the OVS/OVN formal split, we missed
out on applying the patch [1]. This patch takes some code from [1].

[1] - 94e1e8be3187 ("rhel: run ovn with the same user as ovs").
