The stonith daemon prevents node from shooting itself. I wonder
if it ever worked or, if it did, it must have been with some
earlier version of stonithd. One good reason for such a behaviour
is that, obviously, the cluster can't get confirmation of such a
stonith operation.

This plugin could be used for testing, but for the most part it
could be replaced by the ssh plugin. Which are your
circumstances?

Thanks,

Dejan
