   drwxr-xr-x. 10 openlava openlava 4096 Jun 26 00:32 openlava-3.0

2. Install pdsh. See Installing pdsh to issue commands to a group of nodes in parallel in CentOS on all the compute nodes and use pdcp to copy /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group to all the nodes

   # pdcp -a /etc/passwd /etc
   # pdcp -a /etc/shadow /etc
   # pdcp -a /etc/group /etc

3. Make sure your /etc/hosts reflect the short hostname of the cluster both in the HeadNode and ComputeNode. Refrain from putting 2 hostnames per line.
