Bug I found in DSAU, and how to fix it.

[Gregory D Baker]

I upgrade to DSAU 2.1 (which is C.01.00.15) and ran into the following bug:

# cexec ls
systemB: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
systemA: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
systemA: ssh: ls || echo _CEXEC_STATUS_RETURN_TOKEN: $?;echo XXRETCODE:$?: host nor service provided, or not known
pdsh@systemA: systemA: ssh exited with exit code 255
pdsh@systemA: systemA: ssh exited with exit code 255
systemB: ssh: ls || echo _CEXEC_STATUS_RETURN_TOKEN: $?;echo XXRETCODE:$?: host nor service provided, or not known
pdsh@systemA: systemB: ssh exited with exit code 255
pdsh@systemA: systemB: ssh exited with exit code 255

It turns out there's a problem in the following files:
/opt/dsau/bin/perl/cexec
/opt/dsau/bin/perl/cps
/opt/dsau/bin/perl/ckill

It's something to do with PDSH_SSH_ARGS; so I did a
s/PDSH_SSH_ARGS/PDSH_SSH_ARGS_OFF/g and sorted it out.

Greg,

DSAU is a supported product, so you should log what you had to do with the response centre, so HP can produce a proper fix for this.

None of my systems are under any kind of support contract. I'm happy to log the call if anyone can suggest a way of doing so.

I forwarded this to the DSAU engineers.
