So... this is a trap i fell into. Are you sshing between all the boxes using the default identity file (like ~/.ssh/id_rsa) or Are you sshing between all the boxes using the identity file you created for geo-replication that is stored in: /etc/glusterd/geo-replication/secret.pem? This second one is apparently the correct way. It took support correcting me to fix that for me. -greg gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org wrote on 06/30/2011 09:43:03 AM: > > Yes I can ssh between all the boxes without password as root. > > > On 30 Jun 2011, at 15:27, Csaba Henk wrote: > > > t seems that the connection gets dropped (or not even able to > > establish).
