We've been using Serviceguard for about 5 years (hacked to work on Debian Sarge of course) and been happy with it. We do use Centos on workstations and some servers, but Debian is our preferred distro (for license, religious, philosophical, and selfish reasons). I just finished the painful process of hacking 11.18 to work in Debian Etch/Testing (Etch with glibc pulled in from Testing and another machine that is full Testing). It works with the exception that when we query mysql for the list of machines to add to iptables (client added script in nfstoolkit 1.0), the mysql client segfaults. The same mysql script runs great when called from the shell and not cmrunpkg. I've tried to strace it to maybe get a clue what's different when it segfaults, but no dice. I'm still clueless... ;-)
So, do you (or anyone else on the list) have any idea why mysql would segfault only in Serviceguard? I know HP has a long track record of supporting Debian (http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/390110-0-0-0-121.html), and though I may be the only one, I would love to see Serviceguard extended to support Debian as well. Is Debian in the Serviceguard roadmap, or is the source available to client/outside developers?
