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?
