All, This is my first post to this list. I searched the archive and looked for an answer in the FAQ oscar.sf.net and did not see an answer. My apologoies if I have missed something simple here.
Question: Why do I need to give a password for [EMAIL PROTECTED] as shown in the excerpt from step 7 below? I did "startx" from a vtrandal login, but after that I did all my work as root (twice to be sure). --> Step 7: Running: ./post_install Gathering processor count from oscarnode1.oscardomain. Warning: Permanently added 'oscarnode1.oscardomain,192.168.20.101' (RSA) to the Updating database for machine oscarnode1.oscardomain. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: The are numerous password prompts during step 7, and each time a write to disk on client is involved the write fails presumably because user vtrandal does not root priviledges on the client. My guess is that step 7 should logging into the client as root and not vtrandal. I am thinking about running the start_over script, removing user vtrandal, and doing a console login as root, running "startx" as root, repeating the whole OSCAR install/setup process. I know X will complain about running under a root login, but I want to try it anyway so OSCAR should have no trace of vtrandal. Any ideas?
