Hello Hugh,

thanks for the hints! I'll try the procedure described in the 'Install
Instructions' document as you suggested.

My machine comes with 4 network interfaces.

ovirt-identify-node needs two parameters: host+port. I assume host is
the management (ovirt appliance) machine. Which port must be used? 5762
(qpidd)? Sorry, but couldn't find this information.

Maybe you have seen my second e-mail from today which had the log
snippets. For me it seems like the rawhide way isn't configuring
kerberos completely and therefore the host is not showing up on the
managment machine.

Thanks a lot,

Ingmar
