Sending to the list so everyone sees it: xdsh node015 date works xdcp node015 -F /install/custom/install/rh/compute.synclist fails with the same ssh error Contents of compute.synclist are as follows: /etc/hosts /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group -> /etc sshd UID & GID are the same on xCAT MN and node015 Touched a file in /tmp called file1 and made a new synclist /tmp/file1 -> /tmp Got similar ssh error using xdcp: xdcp node015 -F /install/custom/install/rh/compute.synclist node015: usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgkMNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] node015: [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] node015: [-i identity_file] [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] node015: [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port] node015: [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path] node015: [-w tunnel:tunnel] [user@]hostname [command] node015: rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] node015: rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.6] Regards, Christian D.

I assume xdsh node015 date is working fine and you can create the problem just by running xdcp -F /install/custom/install/rh/compute.synclist Lissa K.
