Well, it /should/ just work.  Maybe there's something that was missed,
like adding an entry explicitly to /etc/hosts.

It drops the connection attempt if the message subsystem key doesn't
match - which is why I asked about md5sum.  Also, it's strange that
cluqourumd would not work but clumembd did - they use the same code.

Maybe the other daemons on the existing cluster nodes didn't reload
correctly (service clumanager reload may have fixed it?).

What release of clumanager was it ?
