    <p>I'm installing greenplum database on my desktop computer following the official installation guide. When I'm executing</p> <pre><code># gpseginstall -f hostfile_exkeys -u gpadmin -p P@$$word </code></pre> <p>it asks me to provide cluster password access:</p> <pre><code>[root@sm403-08 greenplum-db-4.2.1.0]# gpseginstall -f hostfile_exkeys -uyang -par0306 20120506:05:59:33:012887 gpseginstall:sm403-08:root-[INFO]:-Installation Info: link_name None binary_path /usr/local/greenplum-db-4.2.1.0 binary_dir_location /usr/local binary_dir_name greenplum-db-4.2.1.0 20120506:05:59:33:012887 gpseginstall:sm403-08:root-[INFO]:-check cluster password access *** Enter password for localhost-2: *** Enter password for localhost-2: *** Enter password for localhost-2: *** Enter password for localhost-2: *** Enter password for localhost-2: </code></pre> <p>This is what my hostfile_exkeys file looks like:</p> <pre><code>localhost localhost-1 localhost-2 </code></pre> <p>since I only have one machine.</p> <p>A similar post on the web (<a href="http://www.topix.com/forum/com/greenplum/TSDQHMJ6M7I9D0A44" rel="nofollow">http://www.topix.com/forum/com/greenplum/TSDQHMJ6M7I9D0A44</a>) says:</p> <p><em>"I had the same error and I discovered that it was because I had set sshd to refuse root login. You must edit your sshd configuration and permit root login for gpseginstall to work. Hope that helps!"</em></p> <p>But I have tried to modify my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to let it permit root login:</p> <pre><code># Authentication: #LoginGraceTime 2m PermitRootLogin yes #StrictModes yes #MaxAuthTries 6 #MaxSessions 10 </code></pre> <p>and restarted sshd:</p> <pre><code>Stopping sshd: [FAILED] Starting sshd: [ OK ] </code></pre> <p>but nothing works; the gpseginstall program is still asking for password.</p> <p>I have tried all the passwords I can ever think of, root, gpadmin, my own user's password, but none of them works. What am I expected to do to get it work?</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> It seems that the problem lies in installing the Greenplum community edition on a single node. Is there anyone who has some experience with this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
