They will both be built into the motherboard. We just had a Sun box with
1 port on a 4 port card to go bad. There doesn't seem to be a lot of shared
hardware between the two ports as far as I can tell.

OK - I got the idea that a null modem cable going between the two
boxes would be the best heartbeat medium - but that is probably from
reading about the 'heartbeat' project at linux-ha.org. Is there any
reason why a null modem cable running ppp wouldn't be a good path for
heartbeat/control in a 2 node setup?

yes.
I don't completely understand why I can't export the DISPLAY variable
and run the client, but I'll keep plugging along with what i have.

I've hooked up the 2nd ethernet NICs and put a crossover cable between
the two. I'm assuming that the "system controller port" is SGI
specific hardware that I don't have. I will have some similar
hardware. We're looking at a hardware platform that has an "EMB"
port. Maybe once I get the demo box in with the EMB port and the
failsafe source code is released, we could see if it would be possible
to support it under failsafe.
So I just un-checked "Set Reset Parameters for node dru1a" and kept
going.
I got the error:
Task failed.
setuid root access to "/usr/lib/sysadm/privbin" denied because it is
writable by group or others. use the chmod(1) command fix
access. (sic)
[cgi@dru1a sysadm]$ ls -lad privbin
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 2048 Jan 2 00:54 privbin
OK, so I fixed it.
[root@dru1a sysadm]# chmod -w privbin
[root@dru1a sysadm]# ls -lad privbin
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Jan 2 00:54 privbin
I'm fwding to you becuase I thought you might be able to fix this in
the rpm or the install scripts.
