By default, xCAT does not allow ssh from the compute nodes ( passwordless) to the MN. It only sets up passwordless ssh from the MN to the compute nodes.
The attribute sshbetweennodes set to "NOGROUPS" actually is used to not allow passwordless ssh between the compute nodes. But the man page is a little vague. I will improve it. Lissa K.

We use statelite and set this in litefile: "ALL","/var/mmfs/","persistent",, so their state persists across reboots. Handy as we don't permit SSH back from compute/login nodes to the management node as root (sshbetweennodes set to "NOGROUPS"). cheers, Chris - -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Email: sam...@unimelb.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlLgg3kACgkQO2KABBYQAh9EsQCfRGBUkJYxmIk253TL2QVnVykL QM8An2EkPwd/MF5GjB28U8iV9Fxw10/R =B7Pt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
