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 ?

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? _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lists.sourceforge.net_lists_listinfo_xcat-2Duser&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=cGs4a-jfx6Emudek2Wdi4FLq2XKm1pvrlbCQ-h7Qq7A&m=6NtfdGflGu5Q-sGWBSwHfzcdfavg83c4HrptN--yz1M&s=Jc7rsY8zgC89uNg_OTgXRaMXuqjGIJSPLMrRDs7EU4w&e=
