Few questions:

1. What version of xCAT ?
2. Can you run "updatenode" command with "-V" flag to get some debug
output ?
3. Can you run "xdcp <nodename> -F <path to synclist file>" and see if that
works ?
4. Can you try just one synclist file specification in the "synclists"
attribute ?

Subject:        [xcat-user] syncfiles not working?



I have syncfiles defined.

synclists=/install/post/otherpkgs/syncusers.synclist,/install/post/otherpkgs/slurm.synclist

Here are the contents of the files:

[root@hpcmaster ~]# cat /install/post/otherpkgs/syncusers.synclist
/etc/hosts -> /etc/hosts
/etc/passwd -> /etc/passwd
/etc/shadow ->  /etc/shadow
/etc/group -> /etc/group
/etc/ganglia/gmond.conf -> /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf
[root@hpcmaster ~]# cat /install/post/otherpkgs/slurm.synclist
/etc/slurm/slurm.conf -> /etc/slurm/slurm.conf
/etc/munge/munge.key -> /etc/munge/munge.key

The files are not being synced during node install.

I've also done touch /etc/{passwd,shadow,group} just to be sure they
wouldn't be skipped due file modification timeframe.

Nor are they being synced if I run updatenode nodename -F

I see the process run in the computes.log and the commands.log,
but /etc/shadow never updates.

As a result, a standard user cannot ssh to a compute node.

Anyone know whats going on here?
