[Spread-users] Unable to get daemons to communicate

[Mårten Gustafson]

Hello,

After running Spread locally and developing a utility Java application
I moved forward to test a deployment on two machines. My setup is
simply
machine A, Mac OS X 10.5.8 [1]
machine B, CentOS 5.3 [2]

Both are running Spread 4.1.0 built from source.

I've "verified" IP-multicast between the two machines using NicNack [3].

The entire contents of my spread.conf is:

Spread_Segment 225.192.168.10:4803 {
        A 192.168.10.108
        B 192.168.10.152
}

As far as I can make out of the manual and by searching through the
mail archive this ought to be enough but the daemons are unable to
"find" each other. Any pointers, RTFM's or suggestions would be most
welcome.



Thanks
Mårten.
