Re: Starcluster start cluster stuck at Configuring passwordless ssh for root

Just following up on the list since we partly solved this on IRC. This
was an issue with PyCrypto 2.5 on OSX Lion. Downgrading to 2.3 seemed to
fix the issue but still not 100% sure why - pycrypto 2.5 works fine for
me on Snow Leopard 10.6.8...

Is anyone on the list able to run StarCluster on OSX Lion with pycrypto
2.5?

When I try to start the cluster everything works fine, it starts up two m1.small instances in my EC2 account, and successfully goes through the whole startup, until it gets to Configuring passwordless ssh for root, and then stops, and stays there indefinitely (I stopped it after 45 minutes and terminated the cluster)
