Re: [Planetlab-users] SSH Problems

[Scott K. <sc...@CS...>]

Hi Rama,

Currently, updates to your key are not being propagated to slivers
that already existed.  We are working to fix this key distribution
issue.

If you remove the nodes from your slice, wait a bit (2 hours?),
and then add the nodes back to your slice, your new key will be
installed.

Note that if you changed your key before about 23 December, you
will need to upload a new one.

If you continue to have trouble, please also report which nodes
you are unable to ssh to.

Scott

I've waited very long time for the public key to be propagated (upto 2 days).  I've also checked that the public key is correct by using it to ssh to some local nodes.  I've tried this process (key upload and check ssh) several times with different keys.  But my ssh always fails.  Here is a transcript from the ssh attempt.
