Cluster and Passwords
The BIAC cluster has a seperate password than your BIAC Window's account
-
You can only change your password on the head node ( hugin ), this is because the nature of the read/only filesystem that the cluster uses.
The command for changing your password is “passwd”
[petty@node23 ~]$ passwd
ReadOnly operating system, please change your password on the head node
passwords are automatically sync'd every 10 minutes
Notice the error message pointing me to the head node
Once you change your password on the head node there could be a slight delay in the new password taking effect for interactive sessions.
Passwords are sync'd automatically across the cluster operating systems every 10 minutes. If you find that your new password doesn't work immediately, please continue to use the old password, or wait for the sync.
