Re: [Condor-users] Trouble communicating through GCB servers

["Cor Cornelisse" <ccorneli@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

It has neither been confirmed nor denied... I've submitted the situation
twice into the mailing list, with logs attached, but there has been no
response so far. I'm 100% certain the realtek network cards are in fact
THE problem. The cluster I was working on has been setup by myself,
running Gentoo Linux and booting from the network. All machines thus have
the same image, same installation every time they boot.

On Condor startup GCB would fail, saying something about not being able to
bind to address 0.0.0.0, which makes sense since that should have been the
real IP-adres of the machine. I've then replaced a couple op realtek's
with Intel en 3COM cards I had lying around my place. Guess what, worked
like a charm. So it might be one of two things, there's something wrong
with the kernel driver, (might not implement all standards) or condor
version 6.9.0 on X64 has a bug somewhere (not using the standard methods
to acquire the interface ip).

If someone is interested in the actual logs I'm more then happy to submit
them "again".

Anyway I'm confident Condor 6.9.0 GCB's is not working on realtek network
cards under Gentoo with kernel version 2.6.18... Condor itself runs like a
charm, no complains there :P

Kind Regards,

Cor Cornelisse
