When I hit this in the freebsd cluster a few weeks ago, something was very wrong. With a conventional kernel, rwhod wouldn't start up, or hung. When adding PROCDESC things got worse. rwhod would operate, but none of the 9.x machines could see its broadcasts and ruptime reported the 10.x+procdesc+rwhod machines as "down". My vague recollection was that the 10.x+procdesc+rwhod machines could see each other but I am not sure. I was in the process of ripping out rwhod from the freebsd.org cluster by that point. -- Peter Wemm - pe...@wemm.org; pe...@freebsd.org; pe...@yahoo-inc.com; KI6FJV UTF-8: So you can \342\200\231 .. for when a ' just won't do <brueffer> ZFS must be the bacon of file systems.
