Hello,

We are installing an x3550M4 rhel6.2 cluster with xCAT 2.7.2. We have got 
to the point where rinstall causes an rhel6.2 system to be installed on a 
client. But the installation seems incorrect :
1/ When we try to log on to the node it asks for a password. We supplied 
it and discovered that directory /root/.ssh was not created.
2/ We also discovered that /etc/ssh/ssh_host* files were not the expected 
copies of /etc/xcat/hostkeys/ssh_host* and sshd_config and ssh_config have 
their original values
3/ syslog postscript was not run sot the syslog is not redirected to 
xcatserver
4/ syncfile did not bring any file
5/ file /tmp/ks-script-30ymnI.log contains the following error message 
:mv: cannot stat `xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/postscripts' No such file or directory 
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my xcatserver address)
6/ During boot the console displayed : /xcatpost/updateflag.awk:22 remote 
host and port information (3002, installation booted) invalid

We tried to see whether we could solve the issue by running updatenode -k. 
This did create the authorized_keys file and we can now log to the node 
without giving a password. But after  the Setup ssh keys has completed 
message is displayed, updatenode remains frozen. We can log on to the node 
and we see that .ssh/authorized_keys has been created and some change in 
/etc/ssh, ssh_config and sshd_config have been updated there is an 
sshd_config.ORIG and ssh_host_dsa_key is now a 0 byte file.

To go further, we restarted xcatd to end the frozen updatenode -k. We then 
tried updatenode -P syslog. It causes syslog to be redirected to @ with no 
address, because that postscript uses global variable MASTER to redirect 
syslog and that variable does not exist (it seems updatenode does not 
provide it).

Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you for your help,

Bonne réception / Bests Regards
