how to enable non-root ssh?

dear forum,

i've just updated my old mpss to the latest 3.2, and found that now ssh requires root password. i'm wondering how to allow non-root users to ssh and scp.

i checked the mpss documentations but didn't find the right info. This documentation said "Super user permissions are required to configure non-root SSH and SCP access to Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors (not covered in this document)." so what exact document covers that topic?

thanks for your help.

Hi,

In my system with MPSS 3.2 installed, I can "ssh" and "scp" to the coprocessors using my non-root account. Would you like to describe what error you observe when a non-root user try to "ssh" and "scp" to a coprocessor? Thank you.

Among the alternatives for setting up ssh, there is the script included with the Intel MPI releases.

With recent MPSS releases, that script still works, but I must remove at least the mic entry from ~/.ssh/known_hosts after each cold system start.  I don't know why the old drill about setting up ssh permissions, shutting down mpss, and running micctrl --reset-defaults no longer suffices.
