Dear RIck,

YES!
Gmond reported this
# /usr/sbin/gmond -d 10
udp_recv_channel mcast_join=239.2.11.71 mcast_if=NULL port=8649 bind=
239.2.11.71
Error creating multicast server mcast_join=239.2.11.71 port=8649
mcast_if=NULL family='inet4'. Exiting.

The ethernet card IS allowing multicast as is the switch;

[root] ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0F:1F:65:9D:85
         inet addr:192.168.5.125  Bcast:192.168.5.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
         UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           (...)
So I did the usual trick and set the multicast routing explicitly:
route add -host 239.2.11.71 dev eth0

And it joined and added itself to the Cluster Ganglia reports.

Thanks!

Tom

Start up gmond manually (not through any init script) and give it the "-d
10"
flag.  This will force gmond to stay in the foreground and print out error
messages to the screen.
