Correct ? (I can understand why conversational booting can be disabled for MOP booting).  A In terms of a boot node, it is correct to state that its ethernet / address is not used for authentication at all ?   G So I could boot an instance of node "FRAME" on machine1 or machine2 and 0 the cluster wouldn't see a difference, correct ?  2 (Yes, I know, as long as there is no duplication).   ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2005 17:00:06 -0500  From: sol <sol@adldata.com> 3 Subject: too many threads makes pop3 stop working ? 0 Message-ID: <1134943258.162499@nntp.acecape.com>  [ POP3 stops working and these are the final messages in my pop3log file (TCPIP$POP_RUN.LOG): U 2005-12-18 16:21:41 Info: All thread slots now used.
