Description

On CentOS/RHEL8, docker is provided by the podman-docker package. When you try and pull the image we use for building on a system using podman-docker you cannot su to the jenkins user inside the container as it gives a message "could not open session" (Seen on x64) or su: cannot open session: Critical error on (aarch64 seen as part of https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-infrastructure/issues/2119#issuecomment-821198804) It's not obvious why this is occurring.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why su fails inside the container when using podman docker; check PAM configuration and whether the container runs with sufficient privileges.
