Package: heartbeat-2
Version: 2.0.8-1
Severity: normal

Currently if you have two clusters using broadcast heartbeats on the same
network and they have the same contents of /etc/ha.d/authkeys then Heartbeat
will get confused as to which nodes are in the cluster.

The "node" config directive determines which nodes are permitted in the
cluster, this should be authoritative and any nodes which aren't listed with
a node statement should not be permitted to join.

It's not uncommon to configure multiple clusters on one VLAN.  It's also common
to duplicate servers by copying the hard drive and changing the relevant config
file settings.  When duplicating a server in such a manner it's common to leave
the passwords unchanged.

http://www.linux-ha.org/authkeys

The above URL says "The authkeys configuration file contains information for
Heartbeat to use when authenticating cluster members".  Authentication and
authorisation are separate issues, the current implementation apparently uses
the authkeys file for authorisation as well as authentication, the
authorisation should only be the node line in ha.cf.

I am marking this bug as done as I believe that the desired behaviour
can be achived by turning off autojoin.
