thanks very much guys! the truth is that buster needs to route. i have routing configured in the kernel, but have not really looked at the problem directly. due to other complications (not enuf disk space) i will have to re-work buster, probably tomorrow, with a much larger disk. (the cluster has 16 nodes and that's a lot of nfs roots!) the story behind the cluster: we have some great surplus auctions here in NM. last month, i became the owner of two "alta cluster" boxen from los alamos. (2 0f 8.. the others scrapped) each has 8 dual pii 333s on a nice asus mobo with antek power. all assembled into these beautiful nearly cubic yard boxen. so rather than scrap them to ebay, i decided to see if i could make em run again. (all the hi-power interconnect had been removed) now i don't need to do nuclear calculations at home, but i have done a lot of seti (>10000) and at this level, i need a boost in production! so the individual nodes need to get out to send results and get work units. thanks again, what a great list! dave -- Dave Mallery, K5EN (debian testing & woody) PO Box 520 .~. _ Ramah, NM 87321 /V\ -o) no gates... /( )\ /\\ running Debian GNU/Linux no windows! ^^^^^ _\_v free at last! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
