Vincent,
When you start off by running su, you need to add - to the command line to inherit all the environment variables that root has.  Without this option su will maintain all your previous environment variables including the original username.

Hello Ben,

Thank for the suggestion, but I think I asked the wrong question.  I tried
running "cexec mount /home" from root on the server and (after asking for a
password) it says that it is already mounted per mtab on the client.

I am beginning to understand that the password prompts are normally part of
steps 7 and 8 right?  What I should be concerned about is the exact error
messages so I am including a log of my oscar wizard session (cut and paste from
the shell inline below).

Please have a look at the lines that being "mkstemp" and "rsync error".  Please
not the user is vtrandal and not oscartst.  What do the error messages mean? 
How can I fix them?  I was able to get rid of these errors by doing
*everything* from root (root login and startx as root and deleted all user
accounts) but step 8 happens (fails?) too rapidly to see the final result.  So
running as root is not a solution.

Thank you,

Vincent Randal

Hello,


    
Thank you.  Regarding your suggestion should I run "cexec mount /home" on
the server or the client or both?  I am a bit confused.  I am dieing to
know why this is happening.
      
You have to run this command as root from the server. It will exec
remotely on all nodes the command (in this case, the /home will be
mounted from NFS).

The reasons can be numerous but one of them is that your NFS server was
maybe down when the node booted .

    
Would it have worked to repear the whole install/setup strictly logged in
as root (including startx from root so there is no trace of other non-root
user accounts that OSCAR could pick up)?
      
Well, yes, by running the OSCAR wizard another time (IIRC the complete
cluster setup) then the /home will have been mounted on the /home.

However, because most of your users will be regular (unprivilegied)
users, the tests are performed with a regular user (oscartest) so that
this kind of problem can be detected ... and corrected !

hello,

Most of the time, it signify that the /home directory is not mounted by
NFS on your client nodes.

Can you, as root, run
cexec mount /home

And then try again ?

Why this is happening is another problem...

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

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
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?
