[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] getting brick_ctl.sh to work

For the opensrf password issue, you can take these steps (as opensrf on the head/master server):

ssh-keygen # follow the prompts and choose not to have a passphrase
ssh-copy-id <drone IP/hostname> # substituting each actual drone IP/hostname without brackets

As for the other issue, brick_ctl.sh has this line:

DRONE_BASE=". /etc/profile && osrf_ctl.sh -d $OSRF_PID_DIR -c $OSRF_CONFIG";

which means that it will ignore opensrf's .bashrc and source /etc/profile instead, which means you should be able to add the PERL5LIB and PATH lines to /etc/profile on each drone, or you could modify brick_ctl.sh to not source /etc/profile (by removing ". /etc/profile &&" from the DRONE_BASE line).  There may be a recommended way to do this from Bill or one of the other developers, but those are my techniques. ;-)

Hope that's helpful!
