Thanks to you folks in Netland, I've solved my problems with booting the remote
clients. Especial thanks to:
lau at kings.wharton.upenn.edu (Yan K. Lau)
jcp at decuac.dec.com (J.C. Patilla)
sudha at cs.uiuc.edu (Sudhakar Yerramareddy)
gengenba at forwiss.uni-passau.de (Michael GenGenbach)
duncanl at cs.unc.edu (Lynne Cohen Duncan)
steven at uicadd.csl.uiuc.edu (Steven Parkes)
The problem was knocked almost on the head by the latter two. The etc/hosts
file on the server was set up wrong - for some reason it had the line
127.0.0.1 localhost zeus
in it. I'm certain I didn't put the zeus there - I added other lines but didn't
touch the one already there... And of course, it was *too* obvious to notice!
The consequence was of course that the client though the IP of the server was
127.0.0.1, and so spent it's time talking to itself :. Hang...
Thanks for the response, and next time I'll try to check the obvious properly!
