[Pvfs2-developers] config file issue

Hi Walt,

With the single config file in place now, the server has to be told  
(with the -a command line option) or guess which server it is.  It  
guesses by simply using the hostname, and you may have run into a  
bug.  I'll play with it and see if I can make it more robust.  In the  
meantime, you can use:   -a 172-22-9-126.lwapp.clemson.edu
