Hi!
I had a problem where I couldn't login to a computing node with the password
contained at system key of passwd table. I search in the internet for options on
setting password for xcat.
The documentation says
chtab key=system passwd.username=root passwd.password=abc123
But I don't really understand how this password would get to /etc/shadow of the
computing nodes. Changing the password and reboot stateless node doesn't has
effect, the node keep using the old password and passwd table and nodes
/etc/shadow are out of sync.
I saw people on internet synchronizing /etc/{group,shadow,passwd} from
management node, but if this is the case, what is the point of the system key on
passwd table?
Any suggestion on how to handle computing node users will be appreciated!
Regards,
