Hello,

We would like to modify our xcat cluster so that if anyone was 
(fortunate/clever enough) to gain root access then they could not ssh directly 
in to the management and service nodes. I decided to look at this documentation 
-- https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Setting_Up_Zones/. Putting a group of 
nodes in a zone does the trick. I simple did the following...

mkzone zone2 -a phi -g
updatenode phi -k

These commands do have the desired effect, however I don't have my head around 
the updatenode command. What exactly does this do? Presumably that command 
modifies an ssh key so that password-less access to the management/service 
nodes no longer works from the phi group. Have I got the essence of what is 
going on here or missed the boat? Also is that phase that updatenode requests 
important? Could someone please advise me.

Best regards,
David.
