Simple solution: For whatever reasons the fai account on the faiserver was not owned by user LOGUSER but instead by root (althought the ~LOGUSER/.ssh directory was correctly owned by LOGUSER). Of course this leads to permission issues when trying to remotely fai-chboot on or to scp files to the faiserver. By chown'ing the home directory to LOGUSER everything now works fine: root@faiserver:~# ls -ld ~fai drwxr-xr-x 4 fai root 4096 Aug 24 14:35 /var/log/fai This happened with version: root@faiserver:~# apt-cache showpkg fai-server Package: fai-server Versions: 3.4.8ubuntu5 (/var/lib/apt/lists/de.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_universe_binary-amd64_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status) Thanks for your hints and best wishes Andreas
