What were you trying to do?
Use athena-zephyr rpm on a stock RedHat 6.2 linux system.
What's wrong:
Zephyr host manager will not start up in the absence of the
network. It blocks and does not time out and as such, boot
of the system cannot proceed to a useful level.
What should have happened:
Host manager should have timed out or gone into the background
until such time as the network becomes available
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
None to cite. Suspect this is a problem with the host manager.
