Clusters defined in ~/.clusterssh/config not working

[Enno Gröper]

Ubuntu 12.10
clusterssh 4.01.01-4

I expected a working cluster config, but couldn't connect to any cluster defined in ~/.clusterssh/config.

This is fixed upstream by commit 0eb27e253892.
sf.net bug: 3605675

The attached patch was enough to make it work.

I confirm this bug is still present in 13.04. Steps to reproduce:

1) Edit ~/.clusterssh/config to add a cluster
clusters=cluster1
cluster1=hostname1.lan hostname2.lan

2) cssh cluster1
ssh returns an error that indicates that hostname2.lan was passed as a parameter in the hostname1.lan ssh command instead of in a separate ssh command.

3) Apply the patch in this ticket to /usr/share/perl5/App/ClusterSSH/Config.pm

4) cssh cluster1 works windows for hostname1.lan and hostname2.lan appear with login prompts.

Hi,

Please try defining your clusters in the file ~/.clusterssh/clusters.

From the clusterssh manpage:
