hi Christian yes that is exactly what I was doing initially, except
1. the Account_ file has my weak auth instead of the full auth. 2 as I have already said, the remote_hosts.cfg and gui_rpc_auth.cfg files have been customised But it is this set up that is causing me problems, hence my thought to introduce a minimal client state file to pre-empt the cpid -- just to be clear I have not given the client a minimal client_state.xml yet, it my next thing to try, with a pre-filled cpid in it, I still do not understand why your clusters are working, and my diskless workstations are getting the server confused...
