Whoa!!!!

DO NOT RUN AS ROOT!!!

Do an 'ls -l' of the spider directory and you will almost certainly find 
it is owned by the wrong user.

If you use 'sysop' as the spider user then do this:

$ sudo bash
# cd /spider
# chown -R sysop:sysop .
# exit
$ cd perl
$ ./cluster.pl

and it should all spring into life
