Re: [Testbed-admins] FC8 image not mounting
all project user's home directories
Assuming you are running the latest software...
The first may be caused by a new feature that prevents Emulab admin and
non-admin accounts from existing in the same experiment. If an experiemnt
is created by an admin, then only other admin users in the project will
get accounts on the nodes. And visa-versa.
For the second, we now randomly generate a root password for each experiment.
You can set this via the experiment web page.
