[Dxspider-support] Nodes disconnecting after upgrade

Talking to myself here...
Be aware, I was woefully out of date. I had to update the OS through 2 iterations. I was on 18.x of ubuntu. Now on 22.04.1 LTS.
I'm pretty sure there were existing permissions issues with the (older) running version. I did this from the root of the spider directory
sudo find . -exec chown sysop {} \;
It seems to be better already.
I am fully aware that the issues I experienced can most easily be due to my own inaction in keeping this up to date.
Thanks for any and all help, and Dirk, thanks for keeping things going.
As most issues are, this was a PEBKAC.

I know they're not. I do development for a living. However, you can see above, the nodes are not staying connected now.
Ran the "upgrade" script update_dxspider.sh as sysop user. I got a lot of "permission denied" message for directories and files already owned by sysop.
However, the nodes are all disconnecting and reconnecting regularly. All node settings were lost during the upgrade too. I had to re-run set/spider for each one.
Might just try a clean install.

This email trail (and some similar ones like it) fills me with a certain
amount of disquiet. This is because I cannot reproduce the errors on my
test node, nor on the four (large) nodes that I have oversight of. It
leaves me feeling somewhat powerless to make suggestions and/or to fix
it. Programs are not supposed to have minds of their own...
