Are you sure that the ownership of all the files in the spider directory
are correct?

ls -l 

will tell you. 

Please check that cluster.pl is running as the correct user (ie the
'sysop' user [or which ever username you are using]). You can do this
with 'top' or 'ps aux'. IT MUST NOT RUN AS 'root' (I should put in a
check for this I think).

To make sure that everything is right do the following (I assume you are
user the username 'sysop', if not substitute 'sysop' for the correct
username):-

stop the node

login or su as 'root'

cd /spider
chown -R sysop.sysop .
find . -type d -exec chmod 02775 {} \;

ln -s /spider/perl/console.pl /usr/bin/dx
ln -s /spider/perl/*dbg /usr/bin

login as 'sysop'

cd /spider/perl
./update_sysop.pl

restart the node

you should now be able to type in:-

dx

and get a sysop console 

Please report back on progress.
