Re a suggestion from Roberto Nunin in the UW NG, I added the underlying
node IP addresses to the 'regular' /etc/hosts file.














That did the trick. It does look like the NSC version is not completely
encapsulating the individual IP addresses during secure operations like
remote LPD.



That would appear to be a bug, since NSC is supposed to present a single
cluster IP image to the 'outside' world.

    @loudmouthman: correct, but how do you prove ANYTHING like that is accurate? You can't. A text file is no better or worse than anything.

    @loudmouthman: well, a digital signature could prove it hadn't been altered. Text is no more insecure than anything else in that sense.
