One of my team mates suggested I use a cobbler kick start file which configures sshd to allow password-less access to the SUT. this fixed the issue. ray spear

When I schedule the server machine install test everything works ok UNTIL the SUT reboots. The autotest log gets this ssh warning over and over agin: 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed. 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] db:6e:ba:5f:18:b1:1d:aa:43:a4:b8:ea:7d:51:b7:f5. 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] Please contact your system administrator. 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] Add correct host key in /tmp/tmpn94RUQ to get rid of this message. 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] Offending key in /tmp/tmpn94RUQ:1 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] Password authentication is disabled to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks. 05/21 12:20:37 ERROR|base_utils:0114| [stderr] Keyboard-interactive authentication is disabled to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks. 05/21 12:20:37 DEBUG|base_utils:0114| [stdout] 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 It seems to me that an earlier version of autotest would report this twice and then successfully log in. What am I doing wrong? Currently I'm "workaround" this by logging into the SUT and manually removing the root passwd and setting sshd to allow blank passwords.
