hello,
one more issue still standing.
with the swap of interfaces for 'IP0' and 'IP1'in 'Linux.pm' file i
was able login to the reserved node from the management node, but not
externally.
with the current setup of image capture does it require that the end
user use public keys to login instead of password authentication?
i am sure this is not a firewall issue, because when i use putty to
login, i get a prompt to type in the login username, and the moment i
type in username and hit enter, expecting to type in password, i get
the following error:
"No supported authentication methods available"
to me this seems to be a 'PAM' issue of 'sshd' config issue.
any thoughts? or leads please?
regards,
prem.
