Hopefully it should be sorted. I tried installing "rocks" and this installed fine on the host and the nodes, all talk to each other fine, so all the equipment works!
I have then installed FC3 on one of the nodes from CD (minimal installation) and this can ssh to the other nodes and the host with no problem. So I'll strip everything off again, install FC3 on the host and try again from there. If it doesn;t work, I guess I'll stick with rocks, although I'd prefer to go with something I already know. Thanks for your help.
