Hello!
The buffersize of 512 as defined in cman_tool/join.c seems to be insufficient in some cases.
When I tried to add a node with a FQDN of 42 characters in length to the cluster I got the following
error message:
can't resolve node name <nodename>
Since DNS was working correctly both ways the message was plainly missleading.
Strace'ing a join showed that gethostbyname2_r exited with an error number indicating a bufferoverrun.
Changing the buffersize to 1024 solved the Problem in this case.
Thanks, I'll change that in CVS. I'll also get it to print the real error in
case gethostbyname2_r fails for any other reason.
Also be aware that any given component in a FQDN can be up to 65
characters in length (can't recall which RFC defines that, but it's
bitten me before as well).
