https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Default-password-for-spark-user/m-p/187530#M149631 <P>I tried running 'start-slaves.sh' as 'spark' user but while connecting to slave machine, it's asking for password. I do have the privilege to change the password for 'spark' user but doing so might stop some processes. Could you please suggest something to tackle this issue?</P> Tue, 08 May 2018 20:08:51 GMT kumar_deepak 2018-05-08T20:08:51Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Default-password-for-spark-user/m-p/187530#M149631 <P>I tried running 'start-slaves.sh' as 'spark' user but while connecting to slave machine, it's asking for password.
