Thank you for the idea. I did try that, but it still did not become MASTER.
I had to give up on carp (and redundancy altogether) and run with
aliases for now.

Hi William,
I don't know for sure, but I remember dealing with this kind of
problem and setting preempt did work, maybe worth a try:
/etc/sysctl.conf:
net.inet.carp.preempt=1
Anyone else?
HTH,
Vinicius

Hello all,
I am a new to OpenBSD but not *nix in general...
I have two systems running OpenBSD 4.2. It has 9 carp interfaces,
and has been running fine for months. All of a sudden, both systems
are in BACKUP state.
I halted one of the systems then on the remaining system rebooted,
shut down and restarted, run "ifconfig carp1 state master", changed
the sysctls, removed the hostname files, rebooted, then replaced the
hostname files, fiddled with the advskew and lots of other things.
Even with no other system running, carp will not go into MASTER
state, period, no errors, no logs.
I tried setting net.inet.carp.log=1 and 2 and 1000, I see no logs
anywhere in /var/log.
Anything else I can look at?
William
