Kevin,

We, and I believe most sites, utilize some form of shared storage (NFS, CIFS/Samba, or some parallel FS) for home directories which will remove the need to do any kind of user data synchronization. Just make sure the home directory is mounted in the same place on all machines in the cluster.

Thank you, Xiao and Yuan.

Both of these commands seem to be useful for giving ordinary users access to xCAT, or in the case of xdsh actually requires that. But that's not really what I'm looking for. My users shouldn't have any need to manage the cluster nor be involved with xCAT at all; I just want to distribute their authorized_keys and known_hosts file.

Thanks!

    Please take a look of the 'xdsh -K -l [user]'.

        Date: Tue, Nov 28, 2017 1:54 AM
        xCAT seems to be very good at managing root's known_hosts
        file, and distributing root's SSH key to the nodes for
        passwordless logon. I believe this is done by updatenodes.
        Can xCAT do the same for ordinary users as well? I have not
        found a way to do it yet.
        Thanks!
