My understanding is as follows: When you configure maui there is an option --with-key=XXX If you use it, a 'key' is configured into the binaries and used as part of the client-command to server authentication. If you don't specify it, a random key is used in the build. As a result, if you want the client tools from one build to work with another build, you must specify the same key to configure.
I'd happily be corrected if this is wrong or incomplete. Note. I presume you are using either the new clients with the old maui or old clients with a new maui. The solution is 1) use the new clients with the new maui, and 2) in the future specify a particular key so that the problem will not recurr even if you use old clients. -- Gareth > -----Original Message----- > From: Ole Holm Nielsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, 5 September 2006 6:18 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Mauiusers] MAUI client requests rejected > > > We're upgrading to maui-3.2.6p16, and we have a problem with client > hosts (i.e., the hosts where normal users log in) not being able to > ask for the status of MAUI, notably the "showq" command which gives > the following error on a client host: > > # showq > ERROR: lost connection to server > ERROR: cannot request service (status) > > The MAUI server log has rejected the request as seen in maui.log: > 09/05 09:59:13 ALERT: checksum does not match > (de56647432047d1a:564c00d0d8d4d658) request 'TS=1157443153 > AUTH=ohnielse > DT=CMD=showq AUTH=ohnielse ARG=0 ALL 0' > > Question: How do I configure the MAUI server/clients so that status > inquiries become enabled ? > > I've tried to follow the documentation > http://www.clusterresources.com/products/maui/docs/a.esecurity.shtml > where the example says to put this line into maui-private.cfg: > CLIENTCFG[RM:clusterA] CSKEY=banana6 > I've done this on both the server and the client and restarted MAUI, > but still I get the above error messages.
