Hi Mahmoud

Yes by all means set the root password in mysql.  The scripts use the apache 
and no user accounts.  Apache for write access, and no user for select only.

You should only have dhcp on the provisioned networks.  The script that 
generates the dhcpd.conf is in /opt/kusu/lib/plugins/genconfig/dhcpd.py
The query it uses should exclude those where network.type is not 'provisioned'.

Try running:
   # sqlrunner -q 'select netid,network,type from networks'
One (or more) should be public, and on these there should be no DHCP.

Is this an install from a yum repository?

1. I notice that user "root" does not have a password set in mysql. I 
assume if I set this it will break most of the scripts? Is this supported? 

2. Not wanting dhcpd on the public network. By default kusu sets up a dhpc 
for both cluster and public networks. Is there config option to not allow 
dhpcd on the public network? (this would include having multiple public 
interfaces) (I could block bootp with iptables but it would be cleaner not 
to have dhpc on the public interface)

Thanks,
