Registering Walrus fail

[Etienne Goyer]

On a brand new installation of Eucalyptus 1.6~bzr672-0ubuntu3 on karmic, after manually copying ~eucalyptus/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to ~eucalyptus/.ssh/authorized_keys and successfully registering the cluster, registration of the walrus component fail with the following error:

cloudmaster@uec-frontend:~$ sudo euca_conf --no-rsync --register-walrus 10.153.108.210

The in question is already there, and writable only by root, hence why scp fail:

cloudmaster@uec-frontend:~$ sudo ls -l /var/lib/eucalyptus/keys//euca.p12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21546 2009-09-14 18:06 /var/lib/eucalyptus/keys//euca.p12

thanks Etienne; we have fixed this upstream in bzr733 (change the ownership of euca.p12 on system startup). The next package from upstream should contain the fix!

[Etienne Goyer (etienne-goyer-outlands)]

The following workaround allows you to proceed with walrus registration:

    sudo chown eucalyptus:eucalyptus /var/lib/eucalyptus/keys/euca.p12
