Is the users home directory present on the head node in /home?

/home is shared over nfs by default so if the directory is present on the
head it should be present on the nodes.

Are the clocks on all the nodes sychronized?  If they are too far off nfs
may not realize that new files are available to share.  Does passwordless
ssh work for root?

The OSCAR environment should take care of setting up the password free ssh
the first time the new user logs in, but if their home directory is not
being shared out to the nodes it won't work because it relies on files
there.

Hi,
We have been using a newly installed Oscar Cluster and want to add new
users to the system.
I used "/opt/sync_files/bin/sync_files --force" to propagate new users
added in the headnode to the other nodes.
My problem is whenever I am trying to login to othernodes using the new
account, the login is successful but it is showing me an error message
saying that there is no home directory for that user.
Is there any other scripts that I should be using or if I am missing any
parameters.

Once logged into the headnode, I also wanted to be able to ssh to other
nodes without having to reenter the password. I think the OPIUM package
should have been able to do this. I was wondering if this was also related
to the first problem of user account synchronization.
Any Suggestions.!!

Thanks
