Hello all, I have my Windows 2003 image configured with cygwin.There is a root account and a password has been set for that. I even updated the vcld.conf file with the password. When I make a reservation, the vguest(vcl01) machine starts but fails when it tries to do an ssh on it.. I tried running /usr/bin/ssh -i /etc/vcl/vcl.key -l root -p 22 -x vcl01 'uname -s' 2>&1 from command line says Host key authentication failed. When I start the cygwin on that vmguest machine, I saw that there is no root account so I infer thats why the above ssh fails.. Do I need to add root account again on every vmguest machine?
Please help!!
