Description Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2014-06-20 18:59:43 UTC 
Packstack distributes ssh keys via ssh connections.  In the absence of existing ssh key-based credentials, this requires that sshd be running with 'PasswordAuthentication yes'.  It is very common for PasswordAuthentication to be *disabled* on servers, which means that this step is very likely to fail. This is especially frustrating for people attempting to install via 'packstack --allinone', since they may not anticipate this requirement.

- In the event of failures due to ssh authentication, I think our error message should make it clear that packstack requires PasswordAuthentication to be enabled in order to initially provision ssh keys.

- For --allinone installations, or perhaps when the target host is equal to the local hostname, we should consider running the key provisioning commands locally.  This will permit --allinone installations to proceed.
