Chris,

   Thanks for your finding. I'll change the code to make the /etc/passwd
   file keep the micuser userid.

Thanks
Best Regards

It would appear that the passwd file that is pushed out to the Xeon
Phi nodes is copied from the xCAT management node, and of course that
doesn't have the "micuser" in it.

So I added it myself, then redid the genimage, nodeset the Phi cards
and now the user exists and the coi_daemon starts. Hooray!

The missing user in question was:

micuser:x:400:400:MIC User:/home/micuser:/bin/false

Identified by taking a node offline, stopping mpss, doing
micctrl --initdefaults and then looking at
/opt/intel/mic/filesystem/mic1/etc/passwd

Hope this helps someone else!

cheers,
Chris
