[Openstack] running devstack

stack.sh isn't completing correctly, even after rerunning as a normal user.  A wrong password is being used when the database is accessed as root at localhost so that generates permission denied errors and the script errors out fairly  quickly after that. A separate email was sent describing this problem. 
Thanks
Tim

The first rulle of devstack is don't run as root.  The second rule of devstack...

Only stack.sh has the defensive prevent-running-as-root code in it.
It'll create a 'stack' user if it doesn't exist then switch to it and exec itself and leave you in a shell as 'stack'.

This looks like an ssh client message.  I have no idea why it would appear here as we don't use ssh directly for anything in that test.

As Sean suggested set up your environment and try a couple of things by hand:

# cd to devstack directory
. openrc admin admin
keystone catalog --service identity

# if that doesn't work try:
keystone --debug catalog

It is possible that the keystone database did not get initialized properly.  If you are still having trouble, the output of tools/info.sh would also bee useful to see.
