Thanks for the pointers Kevin.
As mentioned earlier (see email dated May 23, 2019, 3:09 PM), if I get a
working node (ie: manual OS install) and then run the "openssl" command
with appropriate xml from the "doxcat" and "getdestiny" scripts, I get
expected responses from the xcat master node.
Please keep the ideas coming. Hopefully something is either a new idea or
triggers a new thought.
