SSH and apt-get problem
I have a small cluster of Woody machines (fresh install) and I've run
into problems running apt-get with SSH. While trying to install
packages on all the machines with dsh, I started getting apt-get
problems, so I tried it with just ssh on the individual machines. It
appears that SSH is losing it's knowledge of the PATH while executing.
I used ssh-keygen so I wouldn't have to do logins (thus no password
request).
root@farnsworth # ssh larry "echo $PATH; apt-get install rdate"
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin

The following NEW packages will be installed:
rdate
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not
upgraded.
Need to get 0B/7040B of archives. After unpacking 65.5kB will be used.
dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH.
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and
/sbin.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
and if I log onto larry
root@larry # which ldconfig start-stop-daemon install-info update-rc.d
/sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/start-stop-daemon
/usr/sbin/install-info
/usr/sbin/update-rc.d
Is this a bug in ssh or dpkg?
Thanks,
Matthew H. Ray
