I have had this idea some time ago, and it seems to have been received quite well, and thus I am intending to code "update-cluster-machine"
It is a tool to hold a database of : IP address MAC address hostname adding a machine to cluster should be done with : update-cluster-machine add --ip xxx.xxx.xxx --mac xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --hostname machine and removing a machine from cluster should be done with : update-cluster-machine remove --ip xxxxxx I am planning such so that it would overwrite at least /etc/mpich/machines_LINUX /etc/hosts /etc/ethers /etc/dsh/machines.list on doing so. Ideas welcome. It will make Debian cluster solutions to be more "integrated" as Debian. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer
