I ran into similar problem on fresh FC2 install (not upgrade), in which
I configured my cluster nodes to have static addresses 192.168.1.110 and
192.168.1.111.  (IOW, neither of Lennert's guesses above as to source of
problem applied to my situation).

I manually changed /etc/hosts to replace 127.0.0.1 with, e.g.,
192.168.1.110 and was able to join the cluster.

Was this the "right thing to do"?  Is this a bug in FC2?  What should
set up /etc/hosts??

Thanks.
