Can you please clarify this?

On my cluster:
	uname -n == /etc/hosts entry for eth0 (public address)

	cluster.conf "clusternode name" entries == /etc/hosts entry for eth1 (private network)

and the cman daemon starts just fine. Is there something that I'm missing, or 
will this cause other issues?


I'm running CentOS 5, cman-2.0.73-1.el5_1.1.

=>    you need to edit /etc/init.d/cman: right before line 44
=>    ("load_modules()"), put:
=> 
=>       cman_join_opts+="-n <name_from_cluster.conf>"

Wow...that value really seems like an ideal candidate for inclusion in the 
cluster.conf file, or in :

	/etc/sysconfig/cman
