I'm trying to setup a murder with 3 machines for testing. (mupdated, fe, and be all separate machines) The mupdate master works fine, the backend can do the initial dump/import to the master (and mupdatetest works on the backend and frontend) The front end however doesn't seem to be able to auth to the master, and I don't see any information other than the follow log messages. mupdate[18000]: [ID 527876 local6.error] couldn't authenticate to backend server: generic failure mupdate[18000]: [ID 917420 local6.error] couldn't connect to mupdate server mupdate[18000]: [ID 215025 local6.error] retrying connection to mupdate server in 28 seconds I searched the archives I saw similar issues, recently in Aug, but no responses.
