perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Alex Montaño <>]

Hi -

I currently have a system running perfsonar off a CD. Which is working 
fine. However, due to internal policies and configuration management 
procedures, I need to build (kickstart) a new system with the necessary 
images.

So, I have just installed the the bwctl rpm on a system with RHEL6. All  
libraries and dependecies were installed. All looks good. However, when 
I try to start the bwctl processes (which i copied from the CD system) I 
get the following messages.

[hpcnet@turq-perfs2

bwctld[46656]: FILE=bwctld.c, LINE=2404, Invalid user/-U option: bwctl

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
