cmquerycl error "Not owner"

What is going wrong? I now next to nothing about Serviceguard. Thanks!

# cmquerycl -v -n rhuxutla -n rhuxutlb

Begin checking the nodes...

Shalom,

Usually .rhosts remote shell access is not configured correctly in this case.

SG requires password free access between nodes to get through the step listed above.

Well, I have .rhosts setup for root and remsh works both ways. Is that indicative of being setup correctly?

Hi Craig,

The cause of the problem could be the 'identd' line in /etc/inetd.conf does
not exist, or is not enabled.

It should look like this:
11.00, 11.11:
ident stream tcp wait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd

11.23:
auth stream tcp6 wait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd

After enabling the line, perform 'inetd -c' to cause inetd to re-read
the file.

Try this and let me know..

Best Regards,
Prashanth

That worked! Thanks! I likely commented that out myself for security purposes not knowing what it was for. What does ident do anyway?
