guys- i've just folded in all the gexec code into the main ganglia distribution. the gexec source will be ignored on platforms that do not support it (currently it only runs on linux and freebsd). i'm sure that gexec will be ported to even more platforms in the near future. i've changed the way

I'm going to stop being a fly on the wall for a second and make a few quick comments: > very soon gexec will be folded into the distribution as well. This is really great news. I hope gexec and authd will continue to be supported as Ganglia goes forward. I find them extremely useful in productio

Personally, I think that complicates things. I'd keep one variable for the port, regardless of whether it is unicast, or multicast. What might work, is that if msg_channel = a local interface, listen, else send to msg_channel. Also, do the mute/deaf flags still apply? So, you can mute a gmo

if it's a unicast channel, gmond configures itself a little differently. gmond will send messages on the unicast channel (which will write to a single host) but it will NOT listen to unicast messages unless "msg_port" is explicitly set. I may be missing something here, but how do you configure

ok so the title is a little extreme (but true). i've been workin' hella hard to get the 2.6.0 release ready to go. the 2.5.7 release i've talked about (w/ the great solaris stuff and xml compression).. got morphed into 2.6.0 before it was released. we might as well go for the gold here and give
