Thanks a lot Ron, it was clearly a really nice response.
You leave in no doubt about using between cpu and ssh.
I would like to try to do it now, but it semms to me that i have
authentication problems from terminal, because when i try to do cpu(1)
command from terminal (log in as Armando) i got nothing, i.e.
term% cpu -h NODE -c date
term%
otherwise by doing:
term% cpu -h NODE
term%
i got the same, and /mnt/term is empty, instead i think that cpu's
name space should be mounted on /mtn/term, isn't it?
Furthermore i also checked lib/ndb/auth on the file server, and this
is what i have:
hostid=bootes
uid=!sys uid=!adm uid=*
I think that is correct, is it?
Thank you very much for your patience,
Armando.
