make-fai-nfsroot problems

[Andrew Monteiro]

No I didn't run the script manually, however, a quick check of /etc/passwd shows that the account exists and so does the /home/fai directory (and the .ssh sub directory but there's no files in the .ssh directory). The main fai-setup script appears to create it.

In fact I can't find a fai-account script at all.

it appers to be a missing or mis-configure fai-account. Have you
used the 'fai-account' script to setup this account ???
