Near the end of the experiment setup, Emulab's event system can fail to
startup with a message like this:
<pre>
Starting the event system.
*** ~/.ssh/identity is not a passphrase-less key
You will need to regenerate the key manually
*** /usr/testbed/devel/stack/sbin/eventsys.proxy:
Failed to start event system for foo/bar
</pre>
Or, like this:
<pre>

</pre>
This failure occurs because you have manually changed your default SSH
identity (~/.ssh/identity) or edited your authorized_keys file in your
Emulab home directory without going through the "Edit SSH Keys" web form on
your user page. The easiest way to fix this is to make sure the passphrase
is empty using ssh-keygen(1) on the user's machine:
<pre>
users$ ssh-keygen -p -P "
<
old-passphrase
>
" -N "" -f ~/.ssh/identity
</pre>
Then, make sure the corresponding public key in your Emulab home directory
("~/.ssh/identity.pub") is listed in the "Edit SSH Keys" form.
