Thank you for your answer, but our problem seems different we do not even 
have the private host keys.

The first problem is why the postscripts did not run during the install. 
One typical cause of this is if any file in /install/postscripts or it's 
subdirectories is not world-readable (0744) is a good setting for those 
files.   On the node after the install are two files,  there is a wget.log 
in /tmp and a file  /xcatpost/mypostscript.   This script is run during 
the install and by updatenode. Try running updatenode -P -V  and see how 
far it gets.  If you can xdsh to the node without a password prompt, we 
should be able to run updatenode -P -V and maybe understand why your 
postscripts are not running, what is hanging it. 
updatenode -P -V does not directly run the postscripts ,  it creates and 
runs a  /xcatpost/mypostscript file which should have all the environment 
variables needed for the script, set.
It does also sound like one possibility is the node does not have name 
resolution  or a correct ip address for the Management node.  It  needs 
that for  the wget  of  the postscripts from the node to the MN during the 
install or  the updatenode.   

when you run the updatenode -P -V you should see an output like the 
following:
rhsn: Internal call command: xdsh cn1 -s -v -e 
/install/postscripts/xcatdsklspost 1 -m 10.16.0.103 ''
Is the address an address that the node can contact the management node. 

On the node, look in /xcatpost/mypostscript and check what are the 
settings of MASTER.   Was a new file created when you ran updatenode -P 
-V,  it should have been.

Subject: [xcat-user] On install ssh_host keys are not properly set



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

I have seen the same issue, and I run the following command at the time of 
postscripts; it's the public keys that are not being created; I have now 
seen this in all my post 2.7 installations

ssh-keygen -y -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key > /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
ssh-keygen -y -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key > /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
ssh-keygen -y -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key > /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub

Not sure why this process doesn't happen anymore, but this is my fix
