Description Ben Nemec 2013-11-18 18:33:06 UTC 
Description of problem: Error reporting from remote scripts leaves something to be desired.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to use packstack on a system where ssh password authentication is disabled and root ssh keys are not configured.

Actual results: A failed install with no useful information about what is wrong.  For example:

ERROR : Failed to run remote script:

Note that by default there is also nothing in the log file to indicate what is wrong.


Expected results: An error message that includes the relevant failure, in the case above that would be:

ERROR : Failed to run remote script:
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.0.14' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).


Additional info: The problem seems to be that when a command fails, only stdout is included in the error message.  Because this is a failure state, we should expect the useful information to be in stderr (though I think including stdout as well is probably a good idea).

I'm planning to propose a change that will address this shortly.
