NAME
     hpct-node-setup -- Setup a HiPerConTracer Node

SYNOPSIS
     hpct-node-setup USER@COLLECTOR NODE_ID
		     [-q | --quiet] [-w | --verbose]

DESCRIPTION
     hpct-node-setup  is  the  HiPerConTracer  node setup script. It is run on a
     node, in order to:

     1. Create an SSH key pair (for public/private key-based  authentication  to
	     collector);

     2. Upload the public key to the collector;

     3.  Configure  SSH public/private key-based authentication on the collector
	     (for SSH node->collector; Note: this configures password-less login
	     to the node user node<NODE_ID> on the collector!);

     4. Update known_hosts on the collector with  node's  server  key  (for  SSH
	     collector->node  via  Reverse Tunnel; Note: this direction is *not*
	     configured, for security!).

     5.  Update  /etc/hipercontracer/hpct-sync.conf  with  the	given	ID   and
	     collector.
