Hi Matt + list, I got authd, gexec and gmond up and running on a cluster of SuSE 7.3 machines. I thought I would lay out some of the issues I had to go through to get everything to work. It looks like most of the packages and sources were written basically for RedHat, so most of this is just dealing with the differences between the two distros.

Source builds worked for authd and gexec except for the following: 1) the init file for authd calls /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions which I believe is a Red Hat type thing. I rewrote the init file using SuSE's 'skeleton' and it works fine. I have attached the authd init file if you wish to use it (It looks like someone already wrote this one for gmond.) The init script also allows for a master control switch to be placed in /etc/rc.config. The variable is 'START_AUTHD="yes". Running 'insserv /etc/init.d/authd' will also start/stop authd at the correct runlevels 2) gexec uses xinetd (that's fine), but SuSE defaults to inetd. Plus when you install xinetd on SuSE, all services are defined in the /etc/xinetd.conf file, instead of each service having it's own file in /etc/xinetd.d/ - The 'make install' works, except for you have to manually write the gexec service entry into /etc/xinetd.conf OR you could probably add 'includedir /etc/xinetd.d' to the SuSE /etc/xinetd.conf file. ganglia-monitor-core-2.4.1-1.i386.rpm installed fine, except for again, the init script had to be changed and placed in the correct location. /etc/rc.d/init.d/ does not exist on SuSE, rather all init scripts go in /etc/init.d. I wrote my own init script for gmond, but then realized you had also included the correct init script in the source files as gmond.init.SuSE. One other small unrelated thing - From your documentation: "If you want to monitor a node but do not want it to show up in the list of hosts returned by gmond for gexec use, simply start gmond on that node with the --no_gexec option." This option is unsupported at the command line, but it does work in the gmond.conf file. Anyway, hope this info is useful. If I can do anything to help out, lemme know. We have one SuSE 8.0 box here that I am going to start playing with the ganglia stuff on it too. SuSE 8.0 has a lot of differeces from 7.3 since they are moving to be more LSB compliant. Most of this 7.3 stuff will probably not work on 8.0. I am going to tackle the web frontend in the next couple of days, and I'll let you know how that goes.
