[Planetlab-users] can't login to nodes on slice..again..and again...and..again

[Anirban Banerjee]

Hi Everyone,
                   I often wonder if people using PL  find it hard to secure
relatively large numbers of nodes for their work. I have about 228 nodes
registered for my slice and can log into only 80 odd nodes... ! !

The .ssh directory permissions are 0700, I cleaned out the known_hosts file
in case that was causing conflicts, I also  added
StrictHostKeyChecking No to the ssh config file... inspite of this I can't
login to more than half of the registered nodes.. :( . Iread the wiki, and
couldn't get any more insight on this issue.

Is there a quick fix solution to this thing? I added all these nodes at
least 4-5 days ago.. so I expect that any information that trickles down to
them regarding my keys etc. must be on the nodes by now.

Do most people target 'x' nodes to impement experiments on and then register
2x/3x+ nodes on their slices.."hoping for the best" ??
It'll be good to hear from peers about how they deal with such a situation
:) .

Thanks for your time,
-A
