How to customize a Rocks Installation

Prevent SSH Display Timeout

Rocks has an annoying quirk where logging into a compute node tends to take an extra 5secs. To disable this timeout add the following lines to /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

Host c*-*
ForwardX11Trusted yes

Apply the Changes

After any files have changed in /home/install it is best to update the configuration. You can do this by running the following commands.

cd /home/install
rocks-dist dist
