Re: proposed changes to lvsd, nanny, pulse: seeking advice

Fred,

Submit bugs and patches using the Bugzilla interface:

  http://bugzilla.redhat.com.

I reported the issue about all nannies unexpectedly exiting if all Real =

Servers (for a particular service) are unavailable.  There's a patch in =

bugzilla, but to my knowledge it hasn't made it into TOT.  That was over =

2 years ago.
