Sorry for the out of order mails. Hi Babu, its been a long time:D. I believe Babu brings up a valid concern regarding clustermanager access. I think this setting of the host state should be restricted either to physical access to the clustermanager or via authentication (better than what is implemented now), or a different admin client interface. I know that in my environment (and probably yours), I can trust my users but in others, I am not sure this would be the case.
For me it seem like a convenience feature for the admin to make state changes via the client, but for the users, it doesn't really make too much sense to have this control. Actually, users should not have any control over the physical machine in my opinion.
