Distributed Systems Administration Utilities V2.5 Release Notes

Command Fanout
New Features
There are no new features in this release.
Known Problems and Workarounds
Parallel Distributed Shell (pdsh), Parallel Distributed Copy (pdcp) and the commands based on
these utilities (cexec, ccp, ckill, cuptime, cps) display misleading error messages when the
security environment is not properly configured.
For example, if non-interactive ssh is not properly configured, pdsh and pdcp display the
following error message:
pdsh@source_node:target_node:Failed to initiate RCP protocol
pdsh@source_node:target_node:ssh exited with exit code 255
This indicates that pdsh was unable to establish an ssh connection with the remote node. For
additional troubleshooting information, see the Distributed Systems Administration Utilities User's
Guide.
