Subject:   strange problem with rwhod
Message-ID:  <20011207165744.A60105@node7.cluster.srrc.usda.gov>

I have a cluster of machines that all run rwhod at boot.  I have one
machine though that is not working right and I can not figure out why.
The machine in question (called node7) is correctly broadcasting its
rwho information as the other machines update the /var/rwho/whod.node7
file.  But node7 does not update a /var/rwho/whod.node7 file.  I know
that node7 is receiving broadcasts from the other machines as evidenced
by all of the /var/rwho/whod.* files from the other computers.  However,
there is no /var/rwho/whod.node7 file on node7.

Here is the output of ruptime on node1:

node1         up   4+04:02,     1 user,   load 0.00, 0.00, 0.08
node4         up      1:08,     0 users,  load 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
node7         up   4+03:59,     0 users,  load 0.02, 0.01, 0.00
node8       down      0:32
node9       down      0:33

Here is the output of ruptime on node7:

node1         up   4+04:02,     1 user,   load 0.00, 0.00, 0.08
node4         up      1:08,     0 users,  load 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
node8       down      0:32
node9       down      0:33

Here is the listing of /var/rwho on node1:

total 5
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  84 Dec  7 16:50 whod.node1
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  60 Dec  7 16:50 whod.node4
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  84 Dec  7 16:48 whod.node7
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  60 Dec  7 16:16 whod.node8
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  60 Dec  7 16:15 whod.node9

Here is the listing of /var/rwho on node7:

total 4
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  84 Dec  7 16:50 whod.node1
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  60 Dec  7 16:50 whod.node4
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  60 Dec  7 16:16 whod.node8
-rw-r--r--  1 daemon  daemon  60 Dec  7 16:15 whod.node9

I know this used to work and I am not sure when it broke.  I just
can not figure out what is going on.  It is just this one node that
is not working.  It is like it can not see itself.  I did not change
anything but I was thinking that I may have messed something up during a
mergemaster after an installworld.

Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

Thanks.
