If you get the correct flags when you run "utgstatus", then what you see is normal. In my experience (solaris), the load balancing is not what we would expect... i.e. 2 servers, 10 sunrays = 5 on each. I have 5 servers sharing 80 and the balance isn't even close to what I would expect. We run a script which forces an even distribution across all servers.

I did remove the StarOffice packages before installing OpenOffice. Do you think this is what broke the file associations and is there any way to fix it? What I'm finding is that the file associations for .doc and .xls files works but not for .odt or .ods and other file types. Thanks again for any more advice you or anyone else can provide... I am doing some Gnome reading about the mime database, etc. to see if I can't figure this out. Does anyone know if file associations can be controlled through the Sun Desktop manager?

When we install OpenOffice.org on our Sun Ray servers we typically remove the StarOffice icons and edit /usr/share/applications/star.desktop to reflect OOo. We haven't had any issues doing it this way. In your earlier note you asked about Acrobat - is that file association broken also? -Theron Kenneth Bourn wrote: > Theron, > > Thanks for the response... > > I did remove the StarOffice packages before installing OpenOffice.

I have two linux RHEL 4 AS servers and I'm having problems getting my clients to failover/loadbalance. I've run utconfig, utadm. I have the clients on a private network. I've setup a group signature as well. The clients seem to failover to one server all the time. I change the Auth server and the AltAuth server but all that does is switch all the clients to either server. Is there something I'm missing? Such as any modifications to the /etc/hosts or setting my auth and alt auth servers appropriately Thanks for your help.
