To use PPSS in a distributed fasion, The following steps must be performed:
|
|
|
|
# Make the necessary preparations on server and nodes.
|
|
# Create a configuration file for PPSS, that will be distributed to nodes.
|
|
# Deploy PPSS to the nodes.
|
|
# Start PPSS on all nodes.
|
|
|
|
some preparations need to be made.

== Preparation of server and nodes ==
|
|
|
|
The following preparations must be made in order to use PPSS in a distributed fasion:
|
|
|
|
# Create an unprivileged user 'ppss' on the server.
|
|
# Create an unprivileged user 'ppss' on each node.
|
|
# Generate a SSH key without a pass phrase.
|
|
# Add the SSH key to the authorized_keys file of the 'ppss' user on the server.
|
|
# Add the SSH key to the authorized_keys file of the 'ppss' user on the client.
|
|
# Place PPSS on the server within the PPSS home directory.
|

*Security*
|
|
Please note that usage of SSH keys without pass phrases may pose a security threat if the machines are shared with other users. You must decide for yourself if the security risk that is associated with acceptable for your environment. For example, if a node is compromised, the attacker will have (initially unprivileged) access to the server.
