Hi Lon,

Sorry for a so long delay on answering this.

Just one more doubt:

So, after updating the CMAN init script, should I update cluster.conf to use 
the real servers' names, and then set NODENAME=xxx in etc/sysconfig/cluster?

Yes, I understand this very clearly. I usually ask things at this mailing 
list only if the customer has the corresponding subscriptions, we want 
everybody to be officialy supported. I always instruct our customers to ask 
for support at Red Hat support personnel, and we only install solutions like 
this if the customer has contracted support from Red Hat.

But in this case, I was at the middle of an installation, where the 
behaviour was a little bit different from what I was used to, so I really 
appreciate all your help. And your not-yet-officially-released script solved 
my problem, thanks!!!

I think you're doing a great piece of work, some closed-source Cluster 
solutions are not always as flexible and as evolving as it is with Cluster 
Suite and GFS.

Best regards,

Celso.
