pdsh and localhost

[paolobenve]

I'm on xubuntu 22.04
I'm trying to do something like

pdsh -w localhost,otherhost command

But the command isn't executed on localhost.

Does it have to do with the fact that ssh localhost command doesn't work?

Yes, pdsh is doing essentially ssh localhost command, so if that doesn't work then pdsh -w localhost command won't either.
