Hi, I have installed a FAI server from a USB stick and installation of clients kind of works fine, but I have an issue at the end of a client installation with task_chboot and the ssh authentication against the FAI server.
>From a research on the Internet I have seen the problem is described in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=265973 which also refers to the FAI-Guide (7th bullet in article http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/fai-guide/ar01s11.html). However, on my FAI server the .ssh directory is completely empty (for both /root/.ssh/ and NFSROOT/root/.ssh/). Just to make things clear, NFSROOT is /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem on my FAI server. In /etc/ssh/ there are the files that the fai-setup script obviously uses for setting up non-interactive login from clients. In /etc/fai/fai.conf there is FAI_LOGPROTO=rsh (the original value), but also there is not /root/.rhosts in NFSROOT and the local system. (According to what I see in the fai-setup script that file is created.) What I find weired too is that task_chboot obviously tries to log in as the "fai" user: Calling task_chboot f...@maintenance's password: _ I must admit there is no fai user on my system (I have replaced the "fai" user in the setup by one that better fits with our organisation), but shouldn't it be root that logs in to disable the TFTP profile(s)? Also, the server is a two-NIC machine (2 network interfaces) and during installation only the first interface (eth0) was set up. After the first reboot, i.e. after the creation of the NFSROOT with make-fai-nfsroot, I configured the second interface too. But that should not affect this problem, I believe. Can anybody understand what's wrong with my setup? (Is this maybe an issue of the USB stick setup?) Thanks for your help in advance! Peter
