I'm running a dbfarm on a remote server serverX The dbfarm has been created this way (passphrase changed): monetdbd create /var/lib/monetdb/dbfarm monetdbd set control=yes /var/lib/monetdb/dbfarm monetdbd set port=50000 /var/lib/monetdb/dbfarm monetdbd set listenaddr=0.0.0.0 /var/lib/monetdb/dbfarm monetdbd set passphrase=roberto /var/lib/monetdb/dbfarm Port 50000 is open.
From another machine on the same subnet, I request a status:
$ monetdb -hserverX -p50000 -Proberto status status: =OK It does connect (using a different port gives a connection refused). However, it just acknowledges the command, without performing it. Whatever command I try, it behaves the same: $ monetdb -hserverX -p50000 -Proberto create x create: =OK $ monetdb -hserverX -p50000 -Proberto create x create: =OK Notice that the second one should have failed. This confirms that the commands are not executed at all. I have had this issue for a long time, it's nothing new. I just never asked before, because I normally solve it with ssh tunneling a port and using it locally. In this case, I cannot use this. Am I missing something, or is it a bug? Roberto
