[Linux-HA] api_test and non-casual clients

[Scott Mann]

Hello,

I thought I'd start another thread as it may make searching by others easier...

1.) My reading of the documentation indicates that a client is "non-casual" if its `uname -n` output is specified as a node in the ha.cf file. Examing variable values confirms this (the "iscasual" variable of the client_process struct is 0 in this case). My question: Is there any other case in which a client is considered "non-casual?"

2.) In attempting to get api_test running, I found that the user running api_test had to have "haclient" as its primary group (the one indicated in the gid field of /etc/passwd) and could not merely be a member of that group. Is that behavior by design? Or is there some other limitation that I'm missing (such as, a limit to the total number of groups to which a user belongs or privileged users not allowed unless specifically specified in an apiauth entry, etc.)?

TIA,
