If machine is used by someone not in the ssh key list, add his key to .ssh/authorized_keys.
Check in screen output or in logs (/opt/slapos/log/slapos-node-format.log) that slapformat correctly sent informations to slapos master.
Run the following script to fix permissions (won't be needed in next upgrade):
for i in {1..200} ; do
chown -R slapuser$i:slapuser$i /srv/slapgrid/slappart$i
done;
chown -R slapsoft:slapsoft /opt/slapgrid
Reboot the machine so that /var/log mount point is properly used. Warning: at this point, root password has been changed, so be sure to be able to login from ssh before rebooting.
