kcomd - was Re: OpenMOSIX process migration mechanism

Hello,


  Does kcomd monitor the availability of the neighbour?  
I.e. if I poll the oM Map will I know which nodes are 
active/up? Or just all nodes that have ever been?

  Also, does the existence of kcomd bring about a
node-to-node message passing mechanism?  Will keep 
using my own IP based version if there isn't  ...


Thanks,
