Hello,

I downloaded simpson-1.1.2-linux.tar.gz and it seems to work except
that it does not recognize the cluster option. It does not give any
error,it just runs simpson on the local machine.

I am running this on an AMD Opteron (x86_64) with SuSE Enterprise
Linux10. I have added the file /etc/xinetd.d/simpson:
service simpson
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
flags = NOLIBWRAP
port = 3265
wait = no
user = root
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
protocol = tcp
server = /usr/local/bin/simpson
server_args = -server
}

and to the input file added the lines:
cluster {
node1
node2
}

and
use_cluster 1

after
par {

It doesn't matter if node1 and node2 are real machine names or not.
The program simply ignores them.

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,
Michal
