The userguide is now kept in the docs/userguide directory of Swift. It's in asciidoc format. Feel free to make changes there, or email me the text and I can add it for you.<br><br>David<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I can write something up and send it to David to add somewhere for the userguide. Not sure where the files for the userguide are kept.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 3:08 PM, Michael Wilde <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wilde@mcs.anl.gov" target="_blank">wilde@mcs.anl.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
We should tell users what they can run on their cluster (eg ping or telnet-style connect tests) to validate the setting of internalHostName.<br>
