       Ticket Ccs: wychin at i2r.a-star.edu.sg

==================================================

at that point you should be able to ssh into the node as root, provided that
- you use a set of keys that match node_root_key
- and the node is up and running in normal boot mode

if your node runs in debug mode this wouldnt work

Please advise me on my mistake. If possible, can you give me an example? In addition, does that mean I can log in as root with a root password at the console or I can ssh to the node as a root user?
