Description

The page http://www.protogeni.net/wiki/RackAdminAccounts instructs administrators on how to run mkadmin.pl, and there are several instances on the page that describe the "control node" as the host where this occurs, but there are still instance of users miss the fact that the instructions are for the control node.

Suggestion, expand the following:

For those who want to take the simple approach, simply scp over the new admin's ssh public key (or entire authorized keys file) and then run the following command.

  host> sudo /usr/local/bin/mkadmin.pl <username> <pathtopubkey>

to more clearly show that instructions apply to control node:

For those who want to take the simple approach, simply scp over the new admin's ssh public key (or entire authorized keys file) and then run the following command on the control node:

  control-host> sudo /usr/local/bin/mkadmin.pl <username> <pathtopubkey>
