Note that the pconsole binary needs to be run as root. For security reasons
it was not installed suid root, thus you need to run pconsole.sh as root.

If you decide to make pconsole setuid root, mind to restrict access
via a special group (such as 'admin' or 'operator').

pconsole is a very powerful tool that should not fall into the wrong
hands. So, as root, execute:

	chown root:operator pconsole ; chmod 4110 pconsole

pconsole drops its root privileges when they're not needed, so the
program maintains maximum security.

Initial import of pconsole-1.0. This is pconsole, the parallel console tool. pconsole was meant as an interactive administrative shell tool for clusters. pconsole allows you to connect to each node of your cluster simultaneously, and you can type your administrative commands in a specialized window that 'multiplies' the input to each of the connections you have opened. pconsole is best run from within X Windows, although it is possible to employ it without X (in console mode) as well. You need to install pconsole on only 1 machine in the cluster, this would usually be your central administrative node. pconsole makes use of ssh if possible. 2001-06-23 23:52:07 +02:00
