Emulab¶

Emulab is a network testbed, giving researchers a wide range of environments in which to develop, debug, and evaluate their systems.

Issues have been reported that Rumba asks for the password even though a public key was added to the emulab interface. In this case a workaround is to start an ssh-agent and add the public key there.

$ eval `ssh-agent`
$ ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
